1. Choir DVD Sales- Our spring concert DVDs have arrived and they are fantastic! You may purchase one for $15. We also have some Christmas concert DVDs left as well for $15. You may purchase both DVDs for $25 as well. A form will be sent home with your child with ordering information on it. Please be sure to fill it out and send it in with the money with your child as soon as possible. Parents, we know that you will treasure these memories as your child grows up.
