All classes will be going over safety rules, fire procedures, intruder drills, and music curriculum the first rotation. All classes will learn one song before class is over.
Grades 4-6 will also be receiving chorus and band information. Any chorus forms can be returned to me during the first 2 weeks of school. Mr. Kelly will collect band forms.
I hope you all have an amazing school year!!! Keep singing!
