The trip is open to eligible students and costs $65 per person. Chaperones will be contacted later. No refunds on this trip for ANY REASON!!! Handle conflicts now to avoid any later.
Thank you for a great year.
Thanks to all who participated with our second Rock-a-thon. We were able to raise a little over $2700 which went towards the purchase of a new vibraphone for the band as well as many costs for fees, applications and medals for various events. The Rock-a-thon was a lot of fun and will be held again next fall.
Students are expected to practice daily. If you see that your child is not practicing, please correct that problem. Test days will be Tuesdays and students are responsible for all music rehearsed in class.
We are accepting items for our backyard sanctuary. Donations of stepping stones, bird seed (need lots), plants, flowers and bird feeders would be wonderful additions to our project.
Thank you for all the support of our CMS band. |
