Holiday Happenings

It is that wonderful time of the year when the music department prepares for our annual holiday concerts. Please note the following dates in your calendar. Mrs. Schwartz and Mr. Lennox would like to invite you to attend our annual holiday concerts. The Kindergarten, First, and Second Grade concert will be held on Monday, December 17th at 9:30 AM. The Third, Fourth, Fifth, and Sixth Grade concert with be held on Tuesday, December 18th at 9:30 AM. Both concerts will be held in the high school auditorium. Students may wear a minimum of dress-code clothing, but are permitted to wear dress-up clothes. The Fourth, Fifth, and Sixth Grade band and chorus students will be performing their show on Thursday, December 20th. They will perform at 7 PM in the high school auditorium. Mrs. Schwartz and Mr. Lennox will send additional information home with band and chorus students in the coming weeks. As always, thank you for supporting the North Schuylkill Music Department!

Welcome back!

If you are a 4th, 5th, or 6th grade student, please see Mrs. Schwartz for a chorus permission slip if you are interested. The chorus is a fantastic place to encourage teamwork, establish friendships, sing, move, and express yourself. When you turn in your permission slip, make sure you include a working email address. I would like to email monthly newsletters and other important information directly to your parents (this will also help us to be 'green' in the music department!). All K-6 music classes will be given seats and review the music room rules, fire drill procedures, and other school policies during the first music class. Fourth, fifth, and sixth grade students will also go over information regarding band and chorus during the first day of music class. Here's to a great year!
