August 26, 2024 - Choir Update
Dear Parents and Families -
It was so nice seeing so many of you last night at the Do-Re-Mi Night. Thank you for coming and taking care of the things that needed to be taken care of. If you weren't able to go, here are the highlights and most important things:
​​
Information Needed:
Fill out the Registration Form - At the end there are places to contribute to the No Hassle Fundraiser - instead of one of our "have your kids sell things" fundraiser.
Fill out the Student Drug Testing Consent Form - Every student will need to make sure that they are on our list.
Print and fill out the Extracurricular Code of Conduct Receipt Form - Send the signed page with your student to turn in. We must have this on file for every student.
Make sure that your student has gotten fitted for their uniform - Monday is the last day for fittings. If they haven't they will need to talk to Ms. Fletcher or Mr. Poynor as soon as possible.
Your student will be signing up for the Band app this week. Please make sure that they have it on their devices and that they have the notifications on.
We are still in need of Corporate Sponsors - if you know of a business that might be willing to be a sponsor for the choir program, we would love to be able to reach out to them.
Important Dates:
Wednesday, September 4th - Open House
Saturday, September 14th - Choir Olympics - time will be determined later.
Wednesday, September 25th - Fall Choir Concert 7:00pm - in the PAC Concert Hall. This is a free event and we would love for you to invite any and everyone to come!

​​​​August 20, 2024 - Thursday!
Parents and Families -
​
This Thursday from 6:30-7:30 is our Do-Re-Mi Night (a rebranding of a Parent Meeting). Ms. Fletcher and I will be there to talk to everyone, but it will be more than just that. This will be a moment to DOnate - sign up for volunteer opportunities, talk about sponsorships and other types of donation to the choir program - offering of services that you could give to the program, etc. This will also be a time for you to REgister your students and pay the My-Fair-Share Fee (which we will discuss).
This is your opportunity to get the calendar for the year, sign up for voice lessons, drug testing consent form, ECC. This will be a great time to MIngle with other choir parents (Freshmen Parents to Meet Upperclassmen parents; New Parents to the program to meet veteran parents), meet Mr. Poynor and Ms. Fletcher, and to hear about the upcoming trips, how class is run and expectations from students in regards to being a part of the choir program.
​
During this time if your student has not done their uniform fitting please bring them so that they can do their fitting in the choir room.
​
When you go to the main entrance of the school, before you go up the hill, the Performing Arts Center is off to the right. I have attached a little map that the school has with it listed as "BB." It is downstairs.
​
​
I look forward to seeing you all on Thursday.

August 5, 2024 - Welcome to Choir!
Dear Friends and Family Members -
​
I hope your summer was a great one. It seems like the break flew by and we are gearing up for a wonderful school year. The first thing that I need from you as a parent is to please fill out this google form with your student. This is a quick form and should take maybe two minutes. Each student should fill it out once. Since student accounts may or may not be available, I am sending this to you all. However, within it is some important information. We will be having a parent meeting on August 22nd at 6:30pm in the Black Box Theatre.
I will be sending out an official Newsletter later this week with more important information. Ms. Fletcher and I are so excited for this school year!

July 23, 2024 - Dear Students and Parents
Dear Parents -
I have a huge favor to ask of you. We have been asked for the choir to sing the National Anthem for Convocation on Friday, August 9th at 8:00am. I am needing to know if we will have enough students willing to sing the national anthem at this time. I don't know how many students are checking their school emails so I decided to check in with you all first. Please let me know by replying to this email if your student will be willing to sing on Friday, August 9th, for us.
Thank you so much, and I am excited for the possibilities of this next school year. Have a great week.
