Weekly Posting FRUIT SALE!!!!

Greetings this week from the Choir Department! We hope you are having a good week thus far. Here are some important info for parents to know this week.

1. VERY IMPORTANT! The fruit sale is ending THIS FRIDAY November 13th. Please make any last minuet fruit sales pushes and be sure to have all money in by this Friday. If you have any questions at all about the fruit, please do not hesistate to e-mail either of us (Ms. McPherson or Mr. Tapke). We will respond in a timely manner. Thank you for all of your help and support for the fruit sale!

2. We have new vocabulary words this week. The students have seen them this week on the LCD screen. Here is the list and definitions for all the words. Unfortunately, some symbols can not be created with this blog, so please refer to google.com to see what they look like.

1. Repeat Signs- (Google the symbol)

2. 1st Ending- (Google the symbol)

3. 2nd Ending- (Google the symbol)

4. Subito- Italian for suddenly

5. mf- Mezzo Forte- medium loud

6. mp- Mezzo Piano- medium soft

3. Lastly, at the last booster meeting, we discussed the low number of families who were booster members. Apparently, some letters did not make it home to parents. We have a list compiled of all parents who did join Boosters. If you would like to join a letter will be coming home to you if it hasn't already. Please ask your child for this form. It will save you money in the long run for joining. If you have any questions, please feel free to e-mail Ms. McPherson or Mr. Tapke.

Thank you so much for all of your support and for your child's hard work in choir!

Weekly Posting

We hope all of you have a had a good week. We apologize for the late post this week. There are just a few things to be mentioned this week.

1. Vocabulary will be given to choir students next week. The words will be provided on the blog next week for studying.

2. FRUIT SALE! We have received e-mails from some parents about the price of the fruit boxes. The price for all small boxes of fruit are $16. If you have any other questions, feel free to e-mail us. Remember... ALL orders are due by next Friday, November 13th. Please be sure to get all orders in by then.

3. As discussed in the Booster meeting on Monday night, our Booster membership is low this year. To give some families who did not get the opportunity to become booster members, will receive one more opportunity to do so. There will be a letter coming home to you in the very near future if you did NOT join Boosters. Parents, please be on the look out for this and ask your child for the form.

4. Lastly, if you can help the choir on December 4th with Fruit Sale delivery, please e-mail us or call us and let us know. We will need several volunteers to help oversee the students bring the fruit into the choir room. Also, we need some parent volunteers for the Christmas Concert. We have several posts that need to be filled to make the concert run smoothly.

Thank you for all of your support! E-mail us if you have any questions at all!
