REMINDER - Alta Vista Spring Chorus
We are bringing back Chorus at Alta Vista! Chorus is an extracurricular activity for third, fourth, and fifth graders who love to sing and perform. During twelve morning sessions, beginning February 28th, students work under the direction of Mrs. Jane Threet to learn a variety of songs. In April, there will be an evening concert during which the Alta Vista Chorus will perform for friends and family.
Chorus will be held 7:45 AM on Tuesday and Thursday mornings. Students will meet in the cafeteria and will be released in time to make it to class at 8:15. Participants should be ready to sing at 7:45. Students must be committed to attend all twelve sessions and may be dropped from the program due to absences.
Chorus is open to third, fourth, and fifth graders. There is no charge for participation, but there are only a limited number of spaces available. We currently have 25 students signed up, so there is room for a few more people. Registration will remain open through 3:00 on February 10th, but may close early if the program reaches capacity.
To register your third, fourth, or fifth grader for Chorus, click on the link below or scan the QR code.
