Family Mass and Christmas Prep

My apologies for not being on here more often so far.  I have a bit of information for each grade and choir today.  First, the next Family Mass is coming up this Sunday, November 18th.  I'm hoping to see many choir members.  Our last performance was excellent.  We received many compliments.  I will post the songs we'll be singing this Sunday by the end of today.  Choir members may have told you that singing at Family Mass earns them a "pizza topping," as does great rehearsals and performances throughout the weekdays.  If we get 100 toppings on the pizza by the end of the second quarter, we will have a pizza party party!

All classes are now preparing for the Christmas concert scheduled for 4:00pm on December 9th.  It should be a fantastic show!  Song lyrics, recorder notes, and links to YouTube videos that can help students learn their songs will be posted here by 11/13.  Students in 2nd grade through 8th have their own copies of lyrics and music that they can use at home but must also have at school for practice.  I recommend trying to practice recorders at home for a total of 50-60 minutes a week-- though, even if students are only able to practice 5 minutes a day, they will get so much better at their instruments.  5 minutes a day!-- not a bad deal at all. :)

Best wishes to everyone for a wonderful week!  Stay tuned for the posts mentioned above.
