OTHER IMPORTANT INFORMATION
- PARENTS ARE EXPECTED TO STAY! This is not a drop-off activity. It is a time for all of us to get to know each other and experience what Mustard Seed Children's Choir & Theatre might be like. Plan to stay for at least an hour (or longer, if you desire).
- ALL ARE INVITED & WELCOME! Although Mustard Seed is a homeschool theatre program, these Park Previews are not only available to homeschoolers. Feel free to invite friends!
- THERE IS NO OBLIGATION WHATSOEVER! Although, we may hand out flyers that advertise for our upcoming fall musical, you will not be asked to sign up for anything. This is simply just a fun time for other homeschool moms and kids to get together for fun, fellowship, and learning!
WHAT TO BRING:
- Sunscreen
- Water gear - Bathing suits, beach towels, buckets, etc.
- Snacks and drinks - We will provide some, but if you think your child will be extra hungry or thirsty (especially with all the play in the sun), please come prepared!
