The sets and costuming are going to be very simple. I will have student volunteers from the Middle/High School and some recent Northgate graduates assisting me, but your support is essential. I will need your help for this program to be successful. I had a wonderful experience with the parents and children during last year’s Willy Wonka. I am very excited about the opportunity to work with you again and look forward to meeting many new families. I hope you will consider how you could assist in this program Sincerely, Mrs. Klicker Please initial all that apply: I will be available to help with students and my clearances are already on file with the district.
