Please note that in order for your child to participate in the PERFORMANCE or PRESENTATION at LEAF, the parent(s)/guardian(s) MUST return the LSS permission form. Parent(s)/guardian(s) are also responsible for transporting and chaperoning the student to the festival, if not otherwise arranged by the participating school or organization. Thank YOU for making the ARTS a priority in your child’s education!
