Christmas Program: We are excited to announce the Mumford Annual Christmas Program will be held on Thursday, December 12! Students and teachers in grades PK – 2, and our drama students have been busy preparing for this special event. This year’s theme is “A Mumford Family Christmas Vacation” and it is sure to be lots of fun! The program begins at 6:30 pm, and doors will be open to the public at 5:00 PM. Children performing in grades PK – 2 should be in their homerooms by 6:00 PM.
Parents, please read: All students, involved in the play, will have the opportunity to watch the program during dress rehearsal at school. Students who are performing should not be in the gym with parents, your child must be in their homerooms to prepare for the program by 6:00. We ask that after your child’s class performs you have them stay in their homeroom class and do not pick them up and return to the gym. Also, we ask that audience members STAY SEATED throughout the performance and do not come and go during the program or leave early, this causes disruptions and does not allow the same respect to each group performing. If parents do choose to take their children home early they need to check them out with their homeroom teacher.
Mumford Band Concert: The Mumford Band will be having their annual Christmas Band Concert on Monday, December 16, at 5:00 in the Main Gym. This is later than usual – so be sure to mark those calendars now!!

We invite you all to come out and listen to our bands, we know the performances will help you get into the holiday spirit!!
