News and Notes:

We will start recorders in October so money should be turned in ($2.50 per recorder) as soon as possible in order that the recorders can be ordered and be here when we are ready to start in October. Some students like to purchase two so that they can keep a recorder at home and one at school. It's easy to forget that we have music on Mondays.
