Dear Fellow Arts Educator,

 

As part of the Bowie community, I am always looking for ways to engage our children’s love of art and music whenever possible.   One way is to provide more music, dance and theatrical experiences! We hope you will consider joining us for this special opportunity

. 

  

The National Ballet’s performance of “The Nutcracker” will be held on November 30,  December 1 & 2, 2011  Iit will begin precisely at 11:00 a.m.  Everyone needs to be seated by 10:45 a.m.  Dismissal from the BCPA will be school by school, first the walkers, then the bus riders, then the van riders.  We will do our best to clear the hall within 20 minutes; however safety is our first priority.
