Music Mondays

April 19, 2020

Hello, Music Families!!

Heads up!! Lots of music events happening over the next few weeks. While we are planning for the end of this school year, I hope you can take a moment to encourage your student to stick with band and choir (or even return to music making). It has been a year like no other for our students--I know that making music helps them grow not only academically, but it also helps them grow emotionally.

As always, please feel free to contact me with any questions or concerns ddeter@afcschools.net.

Happy Music Making,

Mrs. Deter

Time to start talking to your 5th grader about joining band and choir. There will be a parent meeting on Thursday, May 13th at 6:00pm in the ES gym. I'll be emailing you soon!

On May 7 I'd love to see our music families gather for dinner!! Next to music, my big love is food! Boosters is assisting with the planning & we are monitoring COVID guidelines. We have already reserved the teacher parking lot at the Jr/Sr High. I'll email all of you in the next week or so!!
