Update: November 29

OE Choir Students & Parents,

The next three weeks are PACKED with lots of activities--concerts, family events, parties, homework, prep for finals and MORE.  I encourage each singer and parent to pay extra attention to announcements made during rehearsals, blog updates and emails.  Being well informed will allow you to truly enjoy this busy, but fun, time of year!

Peace.

PATRON DRIVE ENDS FRIDAY
Our Choir Patron Drive ends Friday, November 30.  Patron contributions may be collected at any time during the year.  The Patron Drive is simply a time when we emphasize collecting contributions and offer students prizes for being a top collector.  Funds turned in after November 30 will still be credited to individual students, however, students will not be eligible for the prize program.  Student goal: $100. All monies over $100 are credited to student choir accounts.  CLICK HERE to download and print additional Patron Forms.
