NEEDS for the NOVEMBER 7th CONCERT:
*Send in names and branches of service of any friends and family members (living or deceased) who have served in the Armed Forces, whether they served during war or peace times. These can be placed in my box.

*We need students and parents to invite friends, neighbors, and family members who have served in the Armed Forces to our concert. I will post an invitation on the blog spot soon for you to print and give to veterans.

*To celebrate a wonderful evening of music, we would like to invite everyone to a reception in the Café following the concert. If you plan to attend, would you please contribute the following items:



5th Grade Chorus: Drinks (individual bottles, cans, juice boxes, so no pouring is needed)
