And we're off.....

It was so great to see everyone back at school this week. It's always hard to get back in the swing of things but as I told the kids, I was actually excited about starting back to school!!!

Just a couple of updates.....first of all, our spring trip this year will be to CHICAGO!!! This looks to be one of the best trips yet. Contracts and chaperone information will be distributed in a couple of weeks!

Please make sure you received a copy of the Choir Handbook the first day of school. All forms that were to be signed by parents are due now! Please don't forget to include the parent involvement form.....I need all the help I can get!

Finally, please feel free to contact me at hueytown.choir@gmail.com or my office phone is 379-4172.
