OE Choir Students & Parents:
CONGRATS! to all of Olathe East's Choirs on an outstanding Orange & Blue Revue!  In a very short amount of time you worked to put together a top-notch show that was very well received.  Also, a big THANK YOU to our OE Choir Boosters for all of the planning and detail work to put together the banquet and take care of our box office and ticket sales for O&B Revue.  I'd particularly like to recognize your Boosters Treasurer, Kristin Howell and Boosters President, Johnna Meyer, who have worked tirelessly all year to make our events go off without a hitch!

From awesome concerts here at home all the way to Carnegie Hall in New York City, this has truly been a year to remember!  I'm grateful for the hard work and commitment each of you put forth to make this year a success.  While your leadership next year will change the constant that I know will remain is each of you working together to carry forward the tradition of excellent singing here at Olathe East!

Together the Hawks will Fly!
