ELEPHANT AND PIGGIE'S "WE ARE IN A PLAY!"
BASED ON THE ELEPHANT & PIGGIE BOOKS BY MO WILLEMS
Celebrated author Mo Willem’s beloved characters come to life in a jazzy musical based on the award-winning, best-selling children’s books. After fumbling and breaking their new toy, bestus friends Gerald and Piggie realize they are in a play and use their powers of persuasion to move the audience. The vaudevillian-style show will have families saying “banana”, “flippy floppy floory”, and clapping along.

Permission Slip Requirement
-
ALL STUDENTS - Make sure you sign the 2023/2024 UA Field Trip Permission Slip! Go to https://www.mypaymentsplus.com and fill it out!
This permission slip is required for your student to participate in all of UA’s On and Off-Campus Field trips for the 2023/2024 School Year. Valid July 14, 2023 through June 5, 2024. This includes field trips, on-campus activities, community service trips, and small group outings. If you DO NOT want your child to participate in any field trips this year, simply select "I DO NOT authorize the student to participate in this activity." Then type "none" in the required fields. This is NOT a registration form for trips, activities, athletics, or events. You must register for those individually. To complete this permission slip, you MUST "CHECKOUT", "PROCEED TO CHECKOUT" and "Pay for my Order", even though there is no fee for this.
Once you pay for a field trip on MPP, the item falls OFF your dashboard. If a field trip is coming up and you cannot find the registration item under "Events & Activities", please check your MPP account history to see if you have already registered. For assistance, please click here.
