We're happy to offer JCS 2nd and 3rd grade students the opportunity to sing the National Anthem with students from LGN on the ice at the P-Bruins game on Friday night on February 14th.

In order for any 2nd and 3rd grade students to participate in singing the National Anthem, they MUST be registered using this form by Monday, February 10th. In order to properly and safely plan for enough volunteers for the event, no exceptions can be made; all student performers MUST be registered by 2/10. https://forms.gle/5EGwte2nzdj8ctPBA

Some important information to know ahead of time:

We're also looking for parent volunteers to help supervise small groups of students at the Amica Mutual Pavilion as the students wait to sing. Please indicate if you're willing to serve as a volunteer at the bottom of the form. https://forms.gle/5EGwte2nzdj8ctPBA
