5th grade-  We will continue to work on Treble and Bass Clef reading, counting mastery.  Students need to start thinking of what their music choice will be for middle school. They can be in Class Choir, this is singing only in class; Performance Choir, this is our Mass choir and they have concerts and field trips.  Guitars is an option, students must take private lessons elsewhere to be apart of this group.  Band is the other option.  If they wish to do band and choir, we can help them with going to each class 2 days a week.  

Guitar Class- Graduation Mass is their next performance, it is mandatory if you are not an 8th grader to attend the Mass and play guitar that evening at 7:00, be present 6:30 arrival time.

Performance Choir Class is now the Annual Fund Dinner Class-  Practices are still Wed. and Thurs until 4:30.  I am asking students to bring paint clothes to paint. The show takes place in the Baroque period, so the kids will have to have villager costumes.  Mrs. Newhart is picking them up at goodwill, here and there.  So if you want to purchase from her its $3.00, send in the money with your child and she will give them the clothes.
