Hello All,
The 2nd nine weeks of the new semester is here and with it comes just a few items of note. First, the All-County concert is this Friday at 7pm in the MHS Auditorium. This is a FREE concert. Both the middle school as well as the high school All-County bands will be in performance. The clinicians this year is Dr. Thomas Fraschillo with the high school and Mrs. Cecilia Fraschillo with the middle school. I HIGHLY encourage students as well as parents to attend this concert. Come on out and support our students and hear two phenomenal groups as well. Students who earned a chair in the All-County Band will need to wear your concert black uniform for this concert. Secondly, Mr. Weaver sent out an email with info about the excursions for the cruise trip last week. The deadline for signing up for an excursion is this Friday. All of the info about the excursions along with the online form can be found on our website by clicking HERE. Remember, if you are going on the cruise trip, you MUST sign up for one of the excursions. Each person going will need to sign-up individually. Please take care of this ASAP. Finally, WE NEED FAIR SHARES PAID ASAP please! There are SEVERAL students behind in your fair shares. You can go to your charms account to access your statements and pay online if you wish. Charms access info can be viewed by clicking HERE. If the password is not working for your account, please shoot me an email and I can reset it to the original password. That is it for now.
