Voicemail Not Working

Note to parents - I got a new phone last weekend, and the voicemail is not working! So, if you call me and I am unable to answer, you won't be able to leave a message. I'm planning to get it fixed this weekend, but in the meantime, if you need to contact me, use e-mail. Thanks!

The Return of the Nutcracker!

Beauclerc's Performance of
The Nutcracker
is returning this year!

A permission slip went home today for a sign up this coming Monday! On Monday, you will sign up for which dance you want to be a part of. After that, we'll pick who's going to be in which dances and let you know when rehearsals begin.

IMPORTANT: In order to sign up, you MUST have a singed permission slip with a parent's telephone number. Also, you MUST be picked up by 3:30 on Monday, or you will not be able to be in the Nutcracker - That means if your parents are late, you will not get to be in it!

Below are some pictures from the Nutcracker two years ago to help you decide which dances you might want to be in:

"The Mexican Dance"

"Dance of the Sugar Plum Fairy"




"Chinese Tea Dance"


"Toy Soldiers"


"Russian Bakers"


"Toy Soldiers"


"Dance of the Sugar Plum Fairies"

"Mexican Dance"



"Chinese Tea Dance"

"Chinese Tea Dance"


"Waltz of the Flowers"


"Arabian Dance"

"Toy Soldiers"


"Chinese Tea Dance"


Acting parts!



The "Toy Soldier" dance


"The Dance of the Sugar Plum Fairy"

"Jingle Bell Rock"


"Arabian Dance"


"The Chinese Tea Dance"


"Waltz of the Flowers"


"Mexican Dance"


Nutcracker is a lot of fun and you DON'T want to miss out! We only do this once every two years, so this is your last opportunity to be a part of the show!

Alphabetical Alliteration

Bonus Money Challenge

For $100 in Bonus Money, write an Alliteration sentence for each of the letters of the alphabet, A-Z. For example:

Amazing Andy ate awful apricots angrily.
Babyface Bradley bravely bounced beautiful baboons on his belly.
and so on up to the letter Z.

Be original! Be creative! Be funny!

For the letter X, you can "cheat" by using words that start with "EX" or "AX", such as:

Exciting Axel ....
