Sign Out Proceedures

Just a quick reminder that an adult needs to sign out your child each week in order for me to release them.  If your child is going home with a friend's parent, please make sure that parent knows their name and is prepared to sign them out.  Your child's safety is our utmost priority, so thank you for your help!

Upcoming Rehearsal at KSA

On October 3rd, the space at the Grube is being used so we will have our rehearsal at Kamloops School of the Arts.  KSA is in the old JP high school building. Please park on Fraser Street, and come in through the main entrance. We will be rehearsing in the Elementary Music room. Please head right once you enter the building, past the gymnasium and office. This week, on the 26th will be at the Henry Grube, but I like to let parents know ahead of time. See you at 3:45 on October 3rd at KSA!

Preferred Email Address Request

Good evening parents,
In order for us to convienintly reach you, please send a blank email to jbouwmeester@sd73.bc.ca from your preferred email address with your child's full name in the subject line.  This will help me keep track of parent emails.

Music Notes Sept 19

Thanks to everyone who made it to our change of venue today at Kamloops United Church.  Next week we are back in our regular location at the Henry Grube Centre.

We recognize that Sept is a busy time of year for families as many activities get started again, however please recognize the importance of the commitment of choir.  Just like any sports team, we have regular rehearsals (and only one per week!) and each week we grow and learn together as a team.  When your child is not present for a rehearsal due to a conflicting event, it makes it very challenging for your child to catch up, but also the team is let down.  Thank you for your attention to this.

Your children continued to work and learn together today.  If your child hasn't brought their music home yet, it means they still need a black binder with a pencil to keep everything safe!  A water bottle (that is labelled!) is always a good idea too.

If you haven't had a chance to pay your choir fees yet, please get them handed in ASAP.  Receipts will be issued as well.

If you have any questions or concerns, remember do not respond to this post, but please feel free to email Jacquie at jstrom@sd73.bc.ca

Wow!

Wow! What a fantastic job your children did today at the Children's Festival!  We were so impressed and hope you enjoyed it too!

Thanks to those of you who have already paid your registration fees - it's greatly appreciated!

A reminder that on Tuesday, our rehearsal is moved to Kamloops United Church 421 St Paul St.  Parking is a bit tricky around there with the demolition of the Kamloops Daily News building, so you may need to park  a few blocks away.

Enjoy the rest of your sunny weekend.
