Musical Support Request- NON CLASSROOM Teachers
I am asking all non- classroom teachers commit to attending ONE of the nights at GWMS, although we would gladly accept your support for both nights if you are feeling generous! Please list your name under the night that you are willing to attend. As the date gets closer a specific support role will be assigned to you.
Musical Support Sign-Up Document
Classroom teachers, I am assuming that you will be attending on the evening of your class's performance. If for any reason you are unable to attend, please let me know as soon as possible so that I can secure classroom supervision at GWMS for your class. Thank you all for your support as we try this new location this year! Your cooperation is greatly appreciated!
I will be asking you to arrive at GWMS no later than 6:15 p.m. on the performance night. Doors will open for families at 6:40 p.m.

Family:
My family starts with my mom and dad, Leo and Joan Calhan. I am so thankful I have them in my life. My Husband Andy, and I, have just celebrated our 40th wedding anniversary. My daughter Melissa and her new husband Shawn just got married in June. I have a wonderful son Anthony and two delightful Granddaughters Kali 19 and Nina 15. With the wedding/family merger I now have two more grandkids, Shawn Jr. 18 and Alexis 12. I also love my two younger brothers Kevin and Lee Calhan and my sister-in-law Laura. I can't forget the love I have for my WHS family!! So lucky, blessed, or I must have some good Karma from something to be here enjoying this life!
My one accomplishment this summer would have to be pulling together everything that needed to be done for my daughter's wedding. This included a huge reunion for all of my cousins, friends and other family members the night before the wedding at the rehearsal dinner at my house! Loved every minute!
College

I have a new set of pink, Everlast Boxing gloves and starting boxing with a trainer and now with my husband. I have found it to be very therapeutic, especially with my husband.
