Happy November!

All Peanut and Greenery Orders are due today with the money.  If you only sold Greenery online, then you do not need to turn anything in.  Wreath, Trees, and Garland sales are extended online only to 10:00 am Thursday!

Composite Chorus Pictures will be Friday Nov. 4. You must bring in your concert attire at the beginning of the school day so you can wear it for the picture.  You can wear your hair however you like for your picture.  We will take the pictures during our choir class period in the chorus room. You are not required to purchase the individual picture, but you will receive a proof of your picture later in November to see if you would like to purchase it. 

CV & CONCERT :Beginning choir is giving an informance Tonight @ 7pm.  Beginning choir students are required to attend.  It is also a parent meeting.  Please encourage your parents to come to the very brief meeting.  Mrs. Patchett would also love to see a large group of concert choir and Colla Voce students in the audience to support Beginning choir in their first performance on stage. Again, the date is TODAY Nov. 1st 7 pm in the auditorium.
