Welcome NMS Choir Beasts and our new Choir Parents! 

We received an update about Kaitlin Simons (NMS Choir Beast) and just had to pass the good news on!!  Here is a note from her mom that will let you all know what exciting things she has been up to this summer!!

Hi Everyone, Hope you are all enjoying the summer break and have found time to enjoy family and friends. We have been very busy lately and I thought I would send out a quick update on Kaitlin. She had an incredible week this past week at the Junior Olympic National Diving Qualifiers. SHE MADE NATIONALS for both 1 and 3 meter springboard. On the 3 meter board she placed 6th and missed 1st place by only 10 pts. (that is a very small margin in diving). The following day she competed on the 1 meter board and absolutely crushed the competition… SHE WON GOLD!!! I don’t really know all the details right now, but I do know that her 1st place finish moves her directly to the National finals (no prelims) and depending on those results she will be ranked in the top 18 in the country for her age group. The kids that go to finals at nationals are usually the group that USA diving uses to select their international team from. She doesn’t have the experience to be selected, but it is just exciting to see how much her hard work has payed off.

Nationals runs the last week of July to the first week of August.

CONGRATULAIONS TO KAITLIN AND THE SIMONS FAMILY!!!

Tuesday, May 23 Info:

Band vs. Choir Dodgeball Deathmatch after school until 4:45. Students can be picked up by the Tennis Courts.

Well, what a year we have had.  The kids said it best at the end of the show Saturday night,  “THANK YOU!”  Thanks to your donations every single child in our choir received a special t shirt to remember this year by.  Thanks to your dinner donations, we were able to feed almost 400 kids a wonderful dinner and insure a full tummy as they gave us their best for the final show of the season.  Each of our volunteers deserve a handwritten thank you note from Mr. Norwood and I but there are so many of you we wouldn’t know where to begin.  Chaperones, you deserve a medal and a crown.  Locker Decoration Mom’s, food and water volunteers, photographers, ushers, box office moms and dads, dinner and clean up crews, and those who helped with costumes and last minute emergencies – we just couldn’t have done all of this without you.  The car trips you make, the clothes you wash, the complaining you listen to (not that your child ever complains), and all of the daily things taken for granted by children won’t always go unnoticed.  You are investing in the most important thing in the world.  Your kids.  So for now, Mr. Norwood and I will thank you!  And thank you again!

A few last tidbits of interest:

1.  DVD orders (100!) will be delivered this week to your child.  We ordered just a few extra in case you didn’t get a chance to place your order.  ($18) First come first served!
2. Mrs. Norwood (our very amazing voice teacher) needs a few parents to send in their last payment for the year.  She is ready to close her books.  Thank you for taking care of any outstanding bills as soon as possible.
3. Pictures are coming in from the final blast!  Check them out on our facebook page!  (Thank you Mrs. Green and Mr. Yaney)
