“I failed over and over and over again in my life, and that is why I succeed.” – Michael Jordan
Important Information
I hope everyone had an enjoyable vacation. Please make sure that chromebooks are charged each evening. It is also a good time of year to replenish school supplies such as pencils and glue sticks.
Some students are forgetting to bring their instruments to school for band and instrument lessons. Ms. Philbin emails the band schedule to all student usually by Thursday for the following week. Please make sure that your child brings his/her instrument to school for both the lesson and band rehearsal. For some students, that is two times a week. Should you have any questions, please contact Ms. Philbin or Mr. Stainkamp.
