Musical Notes
In anticipation of our Veteran's Day Celebration, Mrs. Pedersen is looking for pictures of your military family members! Photos may be emailed to Mrs. Pedersen (cpedersen@st.louisschool.org) or sent to school with your student to be scanned and returned. Please include relevant information, including their name, branch, years served (if known), and who/how they are related.
If you submitted pictures for last year's presentation, Mrs. Pedersen is carrying them over! You may email and double check that your service person is included if you do not remember for sure. Pictures must be turned in by Friday, November 2 to be included in this year's presentation.
Musical Notes
Why are K-2 students coloring in music? You may have noticed your child coming home with a coloring sheet from music. One of the best ways to learn our Christmas songs is through repetition! To help little minds focus, it helps if our hands are busy. While we are listening to our Christmas songs, we are coloring!
