Happy Sunday!
It's hard to believe we have already reached the end of the first quarter. You can view your student's grades in Focus. As a reminder, students should be practicing every day for 30 minutes to an hour.
Congratulations on an excellent first concert of the year last week! A heartfelt thank you to all those who volunteered and helped make it a success for our young performers!
