Friday Night Information



School Residency Performance!

Showtime: 6:30pm, Friday, March 18th

Student arrival time: 6:15pm – meet teacher in gym

Location: Colchester High School                 
                                        Gymnasium

We’re on TV: We were lucky enough to have Fox 44 news come film our students working on their circus skills. Check out the broadcast on Friday Morning at 5:40am, 6:40am, or 7:40am

What to wear: Students should wear a lightweight shirt, sneakers and dark pants or leggings. This is ideal, but clothing should not be purchased specifically for the performance. Students will be performing acrobatics and physical skills; clothing needs to be something they can move in. Please do not wear skirts, dresses, costumes, wigs or makeup.
            All teachers will be in the gymnasium when students arrive at the high school at 6:15pm. Tie-dye t-shirts will be distributed by your student’s classroom teacher at the performance. This is the only costume piece your child needs for the performance.


Parking: There are multiple events at the high school on Friday evening. If the parking lot is full, please use the middle school lot. Plan accordingly. Sorry for any inconvenience.

Circus at UMS

The circus is here!  This year we are having an Artist in Residency which means Circus Smirkus is here for the week working with students.  On Friday, March 18th at 6:30 students will have a performance at CHS in the gymnasium.

The # 1 circus rule is:  TRY!

Our class had a BIG CONNECTION to this as we discussed last week how important it is to TRY in all that you do.  Especially with school work! :)
