Sheboygan Falls Middle School students will have the opportunity to
participate in the annual *Talent Fest on Friday, January 12th, 2018, at
6:30PM in the middle school auditorium.* Students interested in
participating in the Talent Fest should begin to think about what type of
performance they wish to display. Students may perform in only one act
(unless it is a larger school organized ensemble), which can be either a
solo or group performance. Types of performances presented in the past
include singing, dancing, musical presentations, short skits, juggling, or
any act that displays a student’s talent. Now is the time to determine if
you wish to participate, in what way, and with whom. Performances will be
limited to 2 minutes. Students who elect to sing must be prepared to do so
without singing over the voice on a cd. Singers should include the name of
song they will perform on the permission slip and Mrs. Charbonneau will
provide a cd of the music for you to practice with. Parents, please assist
your child in assuring that the performance, music and lyrics, and costumes
are appropriate for our middle school audience. A printed copy of the
lyrics to music to be played or sung must be brought to the first rehearsal.
Students wishing to participate must be willing to thoroughly prepare and
practice at home. Participants *must attend either* of the scheduled
rehearsal dates, as indicated below. Acts must be well prepared, polished,
and ready to perform at the two rehearsals. The rehearsal dates are;
• *Monday, January 8th from 3:15-4:30PM*
*• Thursday, January 11th from 3:15-4:30PM*
The program begins at 6:30 PM in the auditorium, and will end at
approximately 8:00PM. Students should arrive at the auditorium at least 20
minutes prior to show time. The students must bring/wear their costume and
any props needed, unless they have elected to leave these items with
director after their final rehearsal date. Students must be seated in the
back of the auditorium, in show order, as predetermined by director.
*Students wishing to participate can pick up the forms outside Mrs.
Charbonneau’s room and return them to her no later than Jan. 2. Thanks!*

*Health Tip*
*Wear your seat belts!*
Wearing your seat belt is your best defense against injury or death in the
event of a crash. A seat belt increases your chances of surviving a crash
up to 60%. Far too many motorists refuse to buckle up.
*Facts:*
-3 out of 4 crashes happen within 25 miles from home.
-You can still be thrown from a vehicle even if you are riding in the back
seat. You can also injure others from the back seat if you are
unrestrained.
-Wear your seat belt even at night. There are more high risk drivers on the
roads at night such as impaired drivers and drowsy drivers, which can
increase your risk for a crash.
-National research shows you are 25 times more likely to be injured or even
killed if you are ejected or thrown from your vehicle.
