May Day Carol


I've been a-wandering all the night
And the best part of the day
Now I'm returning home again
I bring you a branch of May


A branch of May, my love, I say
Here at your door I stand
It's nothing but a sprout, but it's well budded out
By the work of His own hand


In my pocket I've got a purse
Tied up with a silver string
All that I do need is a bit of silver
To line it well within


My song is done and I must be gone
I can no longer stay
And bless you all both great and small
And send you a joyful May


Listening example: Antonio Vivaldi - The Four Seasons (Spring)

For the Grandparents Day performance on Monday, September 9th the children
will be singing beach music. The Lower School children will sing music of the
Beach Boys and the Early Years will sing “Baby Shark” and “Three Little Fishies.”


The children need to look “beachy” for the performance. Boys may wear their bathing
suits or shorts with a bright colored t-shirt or hawaiian printed shirt. NO rashguard or
tank top shirts please! Girls may wear hawaiian printed shirts, shorts, or sundresses
but NO bathing suits! Please help your child pick out something to wear that is not too
short or revealing. All children need to wear tennis shoes with their beach clothes.


Here are some other accessory items that are acceptable:
  • Sunglasses
  • Beach baseball caps turned backward
  • Floppy hats that won’t fall off when dancing and that will not cover their face


**Lower School girls need to bring a beach towel on Thursday to rehearse with.
