The Ethan Elementary Music Program is excited to announce this year’s Christmas production, Dashing Through the Show! Our students have been working hard to bring some holiday cheer to the stage, and we can’t wait to share this magical performance with our community Thursday, December 4.

To help make this year’s show truly special for our kids, we’re looking for up to two Thrivent card donors to help support the production. These donations go a long way in providing props, costumes, and decorations that make the performance come to life.

If you have a Thrivent card available and would like to donate it toward the musical, please reach out to Sue Tilberg (Susan.Tilberg@k12.sd.us) — we’d be so grateful for your help in making this holiday season a memorable one for our young performers!

Don't forget your coffee! Opening in 15 minutes! !
