GREAT JOB to all the students involved in the production of this year's elementary musical "G.P.S."!!
From the cast to the choir, to all the additional helpers, it was a job well done. We're so pleased with the way the students responded to the learning of all the music, and the Biblical messages with which they are now left in their heads and hearts. Praise God for the gifts and talents on display!  (Pictures or video coming soon)

GPS Info

The 2nd-4th graders will be presenting G.P.S (God's Plan of Salvation) next week already! The elementary musical is next Tuesday, March 12 at 7pm at Community Reformed Church. The second, third and fourth graders are excited to show you what they have been working on in choir over the last couple of months!

DATES, DATES, DATES

This week all of the dates for second semester music happenings will be finalized. Many of them were on our original calendar, but some have been changed or added. I'll attach them here, but also post them at school, make handouts for the students, publish them in the Blue Note, and get them on the school' web calendar. It's very important that we ALL look ahead and plan for these dates. Second semester is going to be a great adventure. Parents, encourage your students to 'keep on keeping on!'
