Attention 4-6 grade parents: We will begin using recorders in General Music for Grades 4-6 soon! If your child took his/her recorder home at the end of last year, please ensure that the recorder is brought back to school no later than November 11. Recorders will be available for purchase through My School Bucks on December 1 for 3rd grade and those in grades 4-6 that have misplaced their recorders. Recorders cost $6.50 each.
Thank you!
