New Fundraiser

We have another great fundraiser available for students.

We are partnering with City Sampler to sell coupon cards for Sheridan’s Frozen Yogurt and Papa Murphy’s Pizza. Cards sell for $10 each and students will make a $6 profit from each card sold. These cards are a great value. The Sheridan’s card offers savings of $60 and the Papa Murphy’s card has a value of $94. The cards are valid in Lee’s Summit store locations.

Students will sign out cards and will be responsible for any cards that they sign out. They will need to turn in $10 for each card sold or return any unsold cards by November 12 (in two weeks). The value of any unaccounted for cards will be turned into the office and a fine will be assessed to the student. All fines will need to be paid before the student can enroll for classes next year.

I will be at school on Monday, October 29, from 8 a.m. to 12 p.m. in a practice room to sign out cards to students.

Remember, all fundraisers are voluntary; students can choose which fundraisers in which they wish to participate.

Thank you for your continued support of the great kids in the music department.

From Mr. Mosier

Hello All Orchestra Parents and Students:

I want to express how proud of all of our students I was at last evening’s concert. This concert was earlier in the year than our past fall concerts have been and the students shined!

Concert Orchestra
I was very pleased with the tempos in general. We had real trouble in class with some of our tempi and for the most part, they really held it together and played well. The cello section did a great job in the Pirates of Caribbean.

Symphony Orchestra
I was impressed with their ability to stay focused on such a volume of music and play well all the way to the end of the concert. I thought OCTOBER was especially beautiful. Our tempos also were very good for the concert setting.

In closing, it is an honor to get to teach such wonderful students. Each morning I get up, I am thankful that I am driving to a job that doesn’t feel like a “job” at all!
