This year's choir shirt!

Choir shirts are included in your student's choir fees. These fees will need to be paid through School Cash (link below). Once the shirts come in, we will pass them out to the students.

Great start to the year!

Wow! We have REALLY enjoyed getting to know our singers! Students are doing an EXCELLENT job of following the procedures while coming into the classroom. We really enjoyed meeting our 6th grade parents at Open House!


This week, we were able to start learning some basic music theory, breathing exercises, vocal warm-ups, and new songs!


Next week, we will continue learning about music theory, more vocal warm-ups, and songs!


We're having a little competition between the choir classes...the first class to get ALL forms/fees turned in will receive a PARTY!!!! The date will be determined soon. In order to win, students must turn in the following:

1. Field Trip Emergency Form

2. Parent Handbook Acknowledgment Google Form

3. Required choir fees paid through School Cash
