  If you were unable to attend our performance at the district Music Festival, the students performed very well and made us proud!In light of that, the Kindergarten/Gr. 1 class has been one of the groups to be asked back to perform at the closing. This will take place at JMH Saturday night at 6:30.  Mrs. Sobey and I are willing to return but naturally we are a small group so we would require commitment from several parents in order to make our commitment.  We will be making calls Friday morning hoping to make contact, however, if you see this note could you call the school and leave a message (we have no secretary on Fridays) to let us know if your child can, or can not attend as we have to let the committee know ASAP.  778-6080.  Thank you!
