I couldn't have asked for a better group of kids, a more talented group of kids, or a more fun group of kids to work with. :) Thank you, all of you, for making this season such a terrific one. It's because of you that I do this job - it's because of you that I love this job.

Public Performance: Evening with the Stars
We are going to be holding a public performance night for the students who qualified for the State competition. It will give them a chance to perform in front of an audience prior to State, plus gives the community and parents a chance to see what these kids do.
It will be Thursday March 10 in the high school media center at 6:00 pm. I’m asking parents if they would be able to provide a dessert (cookies or brownies or bars – something simple and not too messy ). If you are able to help out, please let me know ASAP. If you wouldn’t be able to help with desserts, would you be able to help provide napkins or paper cups or something (we’re planning on something to drink – not sure what yet).
I've tried to contact as many parents as possible via email, and will be calling others. There will also be posters around the town, plus I'll be contacting Jerry and the newspaper. :) Hopefully we have a terrific turnout!
