News From The Fourth Grade Band 

Dear 4th Grade Band Families,

Starting next week, we will be splitting our band into two classes. I believe that adding an additional rehearsal will ensure a better experience for everybody. 

Starting NEXT WEEK (the week of 10/24) and going forward:

Woodwind Rehearsal- Every Thursday, 8-9am

(Woodwinds: flute, clarinet, saxophone)

Brass Rehearsal- Every Friday, 8-9am

(Brass: trumpets, trombones, french horn)

MV Banking Information: 

It was a busy banking morning, we counted a lot of coins!  We are so proud of all of our student bankers who have been coming down each Friday to deposit their money. These students are starting good savings habits early in life.  No deposit is too small or too big!  

Congratulations to 4th grader Valentin C. who won the raffle for a new set of colored pencils.  We will raffle off another set next Friday.  The national raffle is for a $25 Amazon gift card.  Students who make 3 deposits by November 10th are automatically entered into the drawing, 8 winners will be chosen nationally.  

We will see everyone next week for our last October banking day!
