*** I will be on winter break from Friday, December 23rd till Sunday, January 8th returning to work on Monday, December 9th. Due to Monday being a staff professional development day all phone messages and emails will be returned by the end of school on Wednesday.
I am looking forward to an "Out of this World" 2023 school year!
Happy Holidays,

In January, the directors will be bringing some of the 7th and 8th grade students back to Fisher to demonstrate the instrument choices our students will have in sixth grade! We hope your child will join for the annual Try the Instrument Day to try out all the choices your child will have next year in 6th grade. All 5th graders are invited to sign up for an appointment to come to Cobb Middle School, and try out the band and/or orchestra instruments! This special event is scheduled one day only for current 5th graders attending Cobb next year. (The students that are zoned for Griffin MS have received a different email with the date for their Try the Instrument Day at Griffin.)
Please mark your calendar for your child’s Try the Instrument Day, and schedule an appointment to bring your child up to Cobb MS to try out ALL of the Band and Orchestra instruments! This is a great opportunity to see what the instruments are really like to play! Appointments take roughly a 15 minutes, and your child will get to try all of the instruments! If your child would like to try both the band and orchestra instruments, please sign up for an appointment on each Sign Up Genius Link. We hope that every 5th grader will sign up for an appointment!
***If you child wants to be a part of the Cobb Band, Choir, or Orchestra, they must mark "Band", "Choir", or "Orchestra" as 1st priority on their elective choice in HAC when creating their schedule.***
