Kindergarten Hearing Screening
Hello Instrumental Music Parents
Your young musicians brought home a form this week for the NEENAH MUSICIAN T-SHIRT PROJECT (attached to this email in case it is lost in a back pack somewhere). ALL musicians need a red "Neenah Musicians" t-shirt for our Spring Concert. Band students will also wear them for Band O'Rama in February. Some of you may already have a shirt from the summer music program, the 5th grade choir this fall or from older brothers or sisters. Those of you that need them, please return the form with $5.00 to school during this week's instrumental music lessons. Due date isJANUARY 15th. If you can not afford the $5.00 fee, please return the completed form with the box checked requesting financial assistance. (There is also a place to donate money to help cover the cost of those that can't afford. Thank you in advance for considering this).
Please let me know if you have any further questions.
