I have purchased supplies for the flowers and will put together baggies with paint, coffee filters, cupcake holders, and small dowel rods. All you would need is a container to put the paint and water in, a hot glue gun and scissors! Just let me know how many you would like to make! Thanks!!

I am not crafty but thi doesn’t look too hard. I would love to decorate the whole stage with all different colored flowers. Would any of my cool parents be interested? I’m talking 75 or so! Let me know! Thanks Mrs. A

If you were not able to make it out to the choir contest today you missed an awesome afternoon of some amazing performances! Each group came ready to sing their best and had their eyes on the prize! A huge thank you to our guest judges: Mrs. Hill, Mrs. Norwood, and Ms. Yost for lending your talents and skills to help listen to and score our choirs! And a special thank you to Ms. Yost for working so expertly and excitingly with the kids in the clinics afterwards to push them to even higher heights! And because we know you were anxiously awaiting the scoring results, a drumroll please…………….Gold Ratings for all 3 groups!!! A huge congratulations to all of the choirs on setting their sights on this high bar and achieving it! Super proud of these kids and the day of amazing performing they had! One final note: We still had several open slots remaining for treats for the celebration on Monday. If you would have any interest/availability in helping out in that way please feel free to reach out to Mr. Norwood/Mrs. Armington, or simply send them in with your daughter/son on Monday (packs/sets of 48 ideally; salty or sweet). Thank you for your help and your consideration! Now enjoy some well-deserved rest this weekend you gold-winning choir stars!

Parents below are the times for Saturday’s performances in the NMS Augitorium. A few times have been adjusted since last week’s parent letter. Please use this list as your guide!

Each grade should arrive in time to warm up in the choir room. While we are warming up, parents should be taking their seats in the auditorium. The doors to the auditorium must close at performance time. They will not open again until after the clinic is completed. We could really use some help at the doors, directing traffic, closing doors at the appropriate time, and addressing any questions. If you are available to help out at the door, please contact Mrs. Armington. Armingtonj@mcsin-k12.org. We would like you there 15 minutes in advance to help the audience come in and get seated.
This will be a very exciting time for our students and the families who come to watch them perform. There will be three judges, and our guest clinician is Marcia Yost. This performance is free and open to the public!

One of the letters is about our next Contest/Clinic on March 22nd. This is a requirement of all Choir students. The second letter is about an optional trip to Skyzone for 8th graders.

The 2 forms to be filled should make it home to you to sign.

Thanks! Mrs. Armington

This is our last day! We have earned about 2000 this weekend! Bravo!! Hopefully you have a day off! Kids I know you do! Let’s send out 5-10 more emails and reach the $15,000 goal! We can’t thank you enough for all the work you put in for us! Remember all yellow sheets and money are due tomorrow! Enjoy your Monday!!

Drum Roll please…….we have sold $10,517 for the NMS Choir Fundraiser!!!! Isn’t that fantastic?!? We receive 50% of what we earn. What a gift that will be for our kids. But wait, we have 3 more days. Are we going to stop now?!?! Of course not! This red/blonde/grey head (depending on what time of the month you see me) has raised the goal to $15,000! Don’t bicker at me, because that will bring our proceeds to $7,500! For kids who really deserve it. We work your kids hard in class and want to give them the most thrilling contest, stage, and classroom experiences! Our choirs keep growing and we can’t keep up with them financially. So this fundraiser needs one final push from each one of you. Go back to your contacts and put in 10 more, get on Facebook and share, and ask your church friends to sponsor us this weekend. One more push is all we need. One more. Give me an S, give me an E, give me double L’s and what have you got?! SELL! I know you can do this! Give it your best shot and we will be so grateful! Thank you for your support and generosity!! Mrs. Armington

Since we don’t have school Monday, all yellow order slips and money are due Tuesday. 🙂
