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! 

The night of the performance, please bring your son or daughter to the church gym by 6:50. If you come earlier than that, keep your students with you until 6:40 as there will not be supervision in the gym until then; the doors of the sanctuary will open 6:30.  

Students should wear jeans with their G.P.S. t-shirts to the concert. 

This will be a fun night of singing and acting; you will be encouraged to look to God and His word as your guide as you journey through life.We hope to see you there! 

If you have questions please email us at kschonewill@zcs.org or ktenhaken@zcs.org. Thanks!

Practice Contestants to be REWARDED

PRACTICE MAKES PERFECT BETTER!  And so we are encouraging REGULAR practicing by competing class against class in the great SNOWTIME SMACKDOWN practice contest. Students, make sure to record your practice times from now until Wednesday, Feb. 20. Parents, 'encourage' your students to contribute to their class' practice totals and win the contest!  Practice cards must be turned in by Friday afternoon, Feb. 22 to be eligible for the contest.

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!'

It's last week of the semester, and I'd just like to remind students and parents out there that I have a LOT of SOE assignments and band practice cards that have not yet been turned in.  Also, if you have done anything with singing that counts as extra points toward your grade, you need to notify me about it in writing. Don't lose credit that is easy to earn!  Take care of your 'stuff' today!  

LOOKING FORWARD TO A GREAT SECOND SEMESTER!!
