Notes from Music:
Music classes are going so well and students are enjoying learning and practicing music! All of the grades are now beginning to sing
holiday program music as we introduced the songs this week. Fourth grade students have a recorder order form that came home and is due
Wednesday, September 13. Each fourth grader needs to fill out a form even if they are not purchasing a recorder. Fifth grade parents please
watch for a ukulele order form that will be coming home in the next few days. Students have the opportunity to purchase a home ukulele which
we will then use for our holiday concert. Thank you for your support! I am extremely excited to be the music teacher at Park Elementary this
year. If you have any questions, please feel free to contact me.
