5th Gr Parents: Just another reminder about Band Registration Night coming up. Wed Sep 22 from 4p-8p in the Elem Music Room. This is the night you officially sign up for Band. I've met w/ each class to talk about instruments & answer students' questions. It's been going well! There are several benefits to studying music, the primary being your student will enjoy all aspects of music (and life) to a higher degree. I hope your student considers joining! Full details are in the intro letter (attached). Email is the best way to reach me (Renchen.Kyle@gcmsk12.org). I'm happy to answer questions & I look forward to meeting you! https://bit.ly/3A5lWQ7
