Dear Parents-
Every year the upper grade students have the opportunity to go to the Lutheran Schools Music Festival. This is a required event that includes all of the 6th, 7th and 8th grade students. At this festival, the band, handbells, and choir are judged based on their knowledge in those musical areas. It is a great chance for the students to get compliments and critiques from someone other than myself. They also get to hear other bands, choirs and handbells of the same age group. Each group is pumped up and ready to perform this year. We are all very excited. Below is all the necessary information needed to make this festival successful!
The Festival is Thursday, February 25th, 2010
This year the festival will take place at Trinity, Utica.
A map will be provided to the drivers the day of the festival with the driving directions to the School.
Start times are as follows:
7:45: Leave for Trinity, Utica
8:45: 7th grade handbells perform
9:00: 8th grade handbells perform
9:40: Advanced Band performs
10:30: Jonah’s Wailers Choir performs
11:00: Return home

We need to leave school by 7:45 am. Please make sure that we are all leaving at approximately the same time, so that equipment arrives together.
We are going to need 12-14 parent drivers for this trip. Please make sure that you are on the approved driver list located in the school office. I need to have all drivers squared away by Wednesday, February 17th, so that I can assign students to the cars.
This is a field trip. A signed permission slip is needed to attend this festival. Please remember that this is a required event for every student in 6th-8th grade. Please sign and return the note on the back side of this letter and return it to Mrs. Scheiderer by Thursday, February 11th, 2010.
Thank you,
In Christ,

Mrs. Heidi A. Scheiderer

SOOOO SORRY ADVANCED BAND!!!

I just wanted to put this up and say that if you have looked at fast direct in the last two or three days and saw your students grades, and they seemed so low, it was because I lost approximately 3 sets of practice cards!! AHH. I did find them, and I updated the grades. Please look to see if you student is all caught up before report cards come out!

Thanks
Mrs. S
