September 6, 2018
Does your 3rd or 4th grade student love to sing? They should join Select Chorus! Select Chorus is our elective singing group that meets once a week before school from 7:55-8:35. We sing in two concerts, perform at the Veteran's Day celebration and even perform on the ice at a Wolf Pack Hockey game! I'm so excited to see the group of students joining select chorus this year! We have a great sized group already but it's not too late to sign up! Forms are due Friday September 7th. Our first rehearsal will be next Tuesday September 11th!
