September 17-21

Tour Update-
I will accept additional contracts on Monday.  Of the contracts which have been turned in, most indicate San Diego, so that will be our destination, if I collect enough contracts.  If enough students and chaperones do not commit, we will not travel this spring.  For more information, check out the Tour 2013 page.

The Entertainment Book fundraiser is over.  Please turn in $30 for each book, $10 of which gets credited directly to the student.  Checks should be made payable to "Pioneer Performing Arts."  There are still more opportunities to come throughout this year to raise money.

We will have our first Boosters meeting on Wednesday the 19th at 7:00 in my classroom (following the other parent activities that evening).  Please make a point to attend as we work to plan for our Band and Orchestra Benefits and much more!  We've had a great turnout so far this year, and I look forward to continuing to build our Boosters organization.

Pep Band attire and dresses have been delivered and will be passed out to students.  Please make payments for these items as soon as possible.  Checks should be made payable to "Pioneer Performing Arts." The dress is $70.  The Pep Band polo is $25, the jacket is $40, but if you bought both, you got a $5 discount to $60.  If you have questions about the money you owe, I'll be passing out balance sheets this week.

The first grading period is ending soon.  Students who are missing assignments need to turn them in Monday.  I will work with students during "S" period and after school to help them catch up on any missing work.  After this point, there will be a late work deduction and the grade may not be entered by the grading period.

Did you see the information about CMEA festivals for each group?  Here's what you need to know.
