Chorus Friendly Feast
Chorus Friendly Feast is Friday, December 13, from 6:30pm-7:30pm in the Commons.  Students should sign up with what they're bringing in google classroom by Monday, Dec. 9 so we can plan accordingly.  Optional – for students only!  This is a potluck dinner & cookie decorating contest for current chorus students. Help Needed! Parents - if you are able to help, please sign up here.  Thank you!

We are holding a fundraiser over the next two weeks!  Click here to sign up.  Students who are attending the Universal Trip can earn toward their final trip payment and reduce the final cost; individual funds raised apply to individual trip accounts.
