Today we sent home an extremely important packet of information for all choir parents.  There is an orange sheet (parent letter) that explains everything, and a big packet from the MMPA regarding the SwingFry performance and fundraiser.  Please ask your child for your copy.  If it doesn’t make it home and into your hands, you can click on the link below to see the letter.

*Copies of the MMPA information will be found under the tab labeled Parent Info and Forms on this site.

*A link to the Swingfry signup genius is also available under our Signup Genius tab.

Enjoy your weekend everyone!!

Thank you parents for coming to the Green Carpet Gala Meeting at NHS last night.  We were able to cover a lot of issues that we are facing right now.  Doing it face to face is so much more valuable than trying to communicate through letters, and notes on the internet!  We appreciate all of you very much.

We will be sending home a packet of information in case you missed it!  Hopefully you will see it by Friday.  Topics covered were:

• Concerts
• Choir Activities outside of class:  rollerskating, movie/pizza, lock in
• Volunteer coorespondence
• Choir Fees
• The SpringFry Fall Fundraiser for all choir students
• Show Choir
• The Choir Handbook, where to find it, and what is in it.
• Feeding the 400 for Christmas and Final Blast Dinners

Thanks again, and we will be in touch soon!  Mrs. A

Choir Parent letter August 16

Parents we need help. We currently have an extreme chaperone need for our final blast concerts. At the moment we only have a total of 8 chaperones to help our kids on Saturday, with 5 of those being for the 4PM show and only 3 for the 7PM show. We are scrambling to figure out a way to work with what we have with the current “best plan” being that the 8^th Grade students sit out in the audience until it is their time to perform. We are not very keen on this plan and are desperately asking for several willing parents (especially 7^th and 8^th grade parents) to help us help our kids have the best performance possible.  Currently we would love to have/need to have 2 – 6^th grade chaperones, 2 7^th grade chaperones, and 3 – 8^th grade chaperones for the 4PM show, and 3 – 6^th, 3 – 7^th, and 4 – 8^th for the 7PM show. If you and/or family members are available to help us in this way please send me an email: norwoodc@mcsin-k12.org, or Mrs. Armington: armingtonj@mcsin-k12.org, or sign up directly on the signup genius website (http://www.signupgenius.com/go/4090c44ada82baafe3-last ).

Sincerely (pleadingly?),                                                                                                                                           Mr. Norwood

Hi Choir Parents!  This is just a quick note to remind you of a few things.  We will be sending home a “Show Week” information letter with all of the particulars for May 8-13th next week!

Parents we have been waiting for volunteer positions to be filled as we draw near to performances but we are now two weeks away from ISSMA Contest and are still short in the following areas:

Bus Chaperones – You travel along with the kids from NMS to GMS and take attendance on the buses.    We need 5 more for 6th grade choir, 3 more for 7th grade choir, and 2 more for 8th grade choir.

Photographer– Someone to take pictures for the 8th grade ISSMA performance.

Locker Decorations – Make decorations for choir student’s locker to pep them up for contest week.  We have no one for 7th grade period 1.  We have no one for 8th grade period 6 or period 7.

If you are able to cover one of the positions above would you please sign up in the slots available on signup genius?  If you can’t use sign up genius feel free to send me an email or give me a call.

Thanks,

Mrs. Armington   armingtonj@mcsin-k12.org  (822-5186)

Wow!! What a talented group of performers our students are! They really came prepared and ready to perform yesterday!   They brought home 20 Gold medals for vocal solos (including a Gold Rating in Division I by Meredith Dorbin). Our 7th Grade Ensemble received a perfect score for their performance on the Fairfield stage and brought 19 more gold medals home!  We couldn’t be more proud of the amazing job they all did! Here are a few pictures Mr. Norwood was able to snap throughout the day. Great job you fantastic choir beasts!!

(*Parents of ISSMA performers if you have any pictures that you want to send our way we would love to include them in the slideshow!)
