Reminder

If you haven't had a chance to return your pink notice indicating your child's intentions for choir next year we would appreciate them ASAP. It helps us with our planning for  next year.

Our plan is to send home the permission form for school tours today. As we need a hard copy of this you are welcome to sign them after choir and return them immediately.

Thanks for your ongoing assistance to ensure choir runs smoothly

Spring Greetings

With April now in full swing, we have a few more events planned this month as detailed in your newsletter last week.

One of those events is school tours.  While we finalize what schools we will be visiting, we are looking for a parent to join us for the two mornings (April 30 & May 1) to act as or First Aid attendant if the need should arise.  If you have up-to-date First Aid and you are available on at least one of those mornings, could you please contact Jacquie jstrom@sd73.bc.ca


Thanks to all of those families who indicated their intentions for choir for next year.  We are excited to have you join us for another year of singing!  Grade four students who are interested in continuing with KTHC next year will have an audition on April 28 at 3:30 with Mrs. Gauley at the Henry Grube.


Finally, keep on practising your Spring music.  Remember there are youtube videos available on the blog to listen to.  Keep working hard!
