Please read as everyone will be taking at least one picture this Friday.

Make Up Picture Day for the Yearbook will be this Friday November 6, from 9:00-2:00 in the Fellowship Hall. All students and teachers will need to stop by for a headshot for the Yearbook. These pictures are for the Yearbook only and will not be available to purchase individually.

Suzannah Purvis-Schrenk, a founding member of PSHP, will be our photographer this year. She will be taking pictures outdoors in the grassy area to the north and east of the church. She will have props. Instruments are welcome. There will be a table set up in the hallway outside of the guitar rooms to fill out your order forms. We will move inside to an upstairs room in case of bad weather.

Student and Parent Reminders

1. This Friday is a payment Friday for the 5 Fridays in October, plus your $5 church usage fee.

2. This Friday is the preparation day for the church members of Asbury and their Bazaar on Saturday. Please avoid using the Kitchen on this Friday. Please clean your stuff out of the Fellowship Hall by 2:45.

3. We could use extra teenage boys and men to help with the set-up of the church for the Bazaar tomorrow at 2:45. Please meet in the Fellowship Hall.

4. All instrumentalists should bring a music stand each week. Label your stand with your name. I recommend carrying a music bag that will hold your music and your folding stand.

5. All students should bring their Christmas books and/or Christmas music each week from now until December.

6. All violin and viola students will need to purchase a shoulder rest or a sponge to ensure proper position of the instrument and for the safety of the instrument.

7. Remind your student to keep track of any tickets they are getting in class; possible an envelope or a ziplock bag. They will want to keep them safe until Dec. 4 when they can use them to purchase prizes or gifts in the Prize Store.

8. Please be on the lookout for items to donate for our Prize Store on December 4. We can use all sizes of items. Ideas include gift cards, candy, music, batteries, tuners, games, toys, and any nice items that are gently used.
