Post date: Aug 31, 2016 8:19:16 PM

Good afternoon parents of 7th and 8th graders~

It’s been a great week here as we eagerly prepare for the year ahead. I personally cannot wait to see students! That’s what truly makes my heart sing. The purpose of this email is to let you know about our two music electives available for your 7th & 8th grade students. Perhaps you’ve heard that sign-ups for first term elective classes will be on the very first day of school and discussions have already begun!

TERM 1: CHRISTMAS ENSEMBLE ON MONDAYS/WEDNESDAYS Last year we had thirty-six students singing in the group. I’m delighted to continue with this designated rehearsal time. It’s awesome to expand the musicianship & performance skills of these older students. Students are maturing, and they are becoming capable of so much. I cannot wait to get started with this group! Many students have already expressed interest in this group and I am not putting a limit on enrollment. Click ENSEMBLE HERE for dates & information.

TERMS 2 & 3: “The Lion King!” MUSICAL ON MONDAYS/WEDNESDAYS: 7th and 8th grade cast members will rehearse during electives. It is a two-term commitment, with a handful of pre-scheduled afternoons also required. Again, I’m delighted to have actual rehearsal time with our older students. We’ve contracted to perform another Disney classic. Ahhhhh! I’m amazed how God has blessed us with talented and eager students who get better and better, year after year. Their growth both in skills and enthusiasm has been a joy to watch. Although registration for the musical elective will not be until November, information is available now on the music website (HERE).

I am delighted to give both of these musical opportunities to our older students who continue to show a love for the performing arts. Thank you for talking through these options with your fabulous kids before day one. Have a terrific holiday weekend!

WE GET TO DO THIS! For His glory~
