'Where Tradition and Excellence Meets Innovation and Opportunity'
Week of February 15, 2021
Thought of the Week:

Too much ego
will kill your talent.
Greetings!

Let it snow, let it snow, let it snow. I'm just watching the weather reports and outside scene and thinking that I hope I will get to see the students at some point this week! Haha! I hope that everyone is staying safe and warm.

This weekend, show choir takes to the road and competes at their first 2021 competition. (How exciting it is to type that!) Please make sure you check out the Q&A sheet in your group's section of information - and it's not just for new people!

**Parent/Fan Shirt PLUS Garment bags**

The second round of fan shirts, as well as garment bags, will be in on TUESDAY. Please find the distribution times below and make arrangements for these items to be picked up. If items are not already paid, please be sure they are paid for prior to pick up. You may also bring Cash or Check to pay at the time of pick up.
TUESDAY 2/16 -- 6pm-8pm
WEDNESDAY 2/17-- 3pm-5pm

Note: If there is a Snow Day Tuesday, we will plan to distribute the same time frame on Thursday!

Dr. Narverud joins us on Sunday evening this week. Be ready to work hard and prepare for our first public concert choir concert! It's just over a week away. Tickets are available beginning today! Link in your group's section of information.

Have a great week, everyone!

Mr. Mercer
