The Choir Handbook was sent home on Thursday, September 24th. It includes grading policies, class expectations, announcements about opportunities within the program, and concert dates.

 

 

The choir was fantastic at the Veterans Day assembly. They sang with reverence and pride. Our next concert is Tuesday, December 15th, in Jefferson's Commons. The concert begins at 7:00 with pre-concert entertainment starting at 6:30. We hope to see you there!

Jefferson Music Handbook 2009-2010 Word Document
Attached is the music handbook that explains the classroom operating procedures and grading policy. Please complete and return the last page by October 2rd. Scroll of Honor and other Veterans Day information is due by October 16th if a student chooses to participate. I could sure use your help in a few support roles this year. I have delineated them on the signature page. I thank you in advance as it truly takes a village to raise a choir.

Is your old music shirt taking up much needed space in your closet? If so, please donate it to the Thomas Jefferson Middle School Music Shirt Closet. You can drop it off at the Thomas Jefferson Middle School office or send it to Mrs. Vogt or Mrs. Hebner.
