ROYAL CITY - Red Rock Elementary's holiday concerts will be performed this Friday, Dec. 17, in the school's gym.
There will be two shows, one at 9 a.m. and one at 1 p.m. People who intend to attend are urged to arrive two hours early and stay for the entire show.
There will be dress rehearsals the day before, at 9:15 for grades 3-5 and at 12:45 for grades K-2. According to Rich Gregoire, the school is seeking volunteers to help with rehearsal activities.
This would be a good option for parents who can't make the Friday shows, he said. They could witness the concerts at dress rehearsal.
Also coming up at Red Rock is Pajama Day on Dec. 20 and December Awards on the same date. Christmas vacation will go from Dec. 21-Jan. 2.

Teachers, nurses, firefighters and other workers who keep Coeur d’Alene running will soon have more places to buy a home in the community where they work. About 104 homes are being planned to be built at Atlas Waterfront, on roughly 10 acres that are part of a swath of land that was once home to the Atlas sawmill and is being redeveloped. Ignite CDA, the city of Coeur d’Alene’s urban renewal agency, is leading this effort.
