It’s Show Time!!!
Rogers’ students, it’s time to get those amazing talents ready to share! Do you love to jump rope, juggle, tumble, hula hoop, dance, sing, rap, tell jokes, do magic, lip synch, put on skits, play an instrument, recite a poem, or anything else you can safely do on stage? If so, you can prepare a 2 or 3-minute presentation alone or with a group and show us what you can do. Please bring this note back signed by a parent or guardian by Friday, January 16th and you can sign up for a time to audition. You will either be chosen to share your act in a mini show for your grade level or you will be invited to perform in the big show on Friday, March 13th.
