Hello Parents and Students,
Thank you so much for a great day at Music Contest last week. The judges were very complimentary of the students and the teachers.
The next couple of weeks are very busy, so I thought an email would be helpful! I will still send out weekly reminders, but this would be a good email to print and/or save!!
I have tried to include all of the dates and information for the next month. Wow there is a lot going on!! If you have any questions, please contact me.
