August 22 - Civano School News
Carambola Music Program Artist in Residence Coming to Civano, August 28-31
All students are invited and encouraged to perform on the evening of Thursday, 8/31, at a culminating music performance at 6:00 PM at the Lower School MPR.
Strings students with at least 1 year experience are invited to a special strings workshop after our 1/2 day on Wednesday with Maria from 12 - 1 in Ms. Jana's room at the Upper School.
Maria y Yahví joyfully share music from various Mexican music traditions including music from the U.S./Mexico border, Son Jarocho (Veracruz), and Son Calentano (Michoacan/Guerrero). They are both multi-instrumentalists and vocalists. They co-founded Carambola Community Music (El Paso) in October of 2015, where they get to share their love of music by teaching people of all ages. These players have deep roots and connections to the music and instruments they play. They have traveled to Mexico for the past 12 years studying with master musicians. Their instrumentation includes fiddle, guitar, jarana, voice, percussion and marimbol.
This program is being generously funded by your Tax Credit donations at work!

Pizza Orders:
Due to an ordering snafu, we will need to pay for the Papa Murphy’s pizza lunches separately for the time being. Please send CASH for any pizza orders. Feel free to either drop it off with Gianni, or send it in a clearly marked envelope with your child’s name and the words “Pizza” on the front.
There are 3 pizza days in the September lunch order:
- Friday, September 1
- Monday, September 11
- Monday, September 18
If your child ordered pizza for each of those days, that would be $10.50 in cash.

Lunch Ordering:
Thank you for your patience as we get rolling with online lunch orders. The suggestion I've heard the most is that families need more time to order lunches. I will make sure and get lunch orders out ahead of time by 2 weeks instead of 1 from now on. That will give families time to order and get checks (cash for pizza) to the office in plenty of time. The September lunch order is below. You have until THIS Friday, August 25th to submit your order. Also, below the order, you will find a simple document with the lunch menu to print out and hang on your fridge. My plan is to simply write the initials of each of my kids that ordered lunch that day next to the date. Hope this helps you keep track of who ordered lunch on which days.
Mark your calendars:
- August 30, 1/2 Day, All students dismissed at 12:00
- August 31, Music Performance (All students are encouraged to perform), 6:00 PM
- September 4th, Labor Day - No School
