Symphony Field Trip: October 7th or 8th (students only)
Our fourth graders have the opportunity to attend a special Fine Arts event. THE FORT WORTH SYMPHONY will be performing a children’s concert especially for our Mesquite ISD students.
This program will be performed at Mesquite High School. Students will travel by school bus and will attend on either October 7th or October 8th, 2014. Once school counts have been tabulated each school will be assigned an attendance date. The Fine Arts Department of MISD will cover some of the expense of the ticket and transportation, leaving a student cost of $3.00.
This is a special event for our students. They enjoy the program and it is a high point to our study of the symphony and its instruments. Please allow your child to be a part of this wonderful experience.
