SCHEDULE CHANGE 5/21 & 5/14

THE GRADUATION DRESS REHEARSALS HAVE BEEN CHANGED. They are no longer on May 21. Instead they will be on 5/14 (same times as originally scheduled - see master group schedule for times).

Basically, WITH THE EXCEPTIONS BELOW, we are just switching the May 21st schedule with the May 14 schedule. SO - follow what is written on the schedule for 5/21 ON 5/14 and 5/14 ON 5/21.

HOWEVER, this change will NOT APPLY to Ms. Julie's AND Ms. Cheri's 9-9:45am and 9:45-10:30am classes. These classes will remain as originally scheduled (these kids are not involved in graduation anyway). ROOMS TBA

ALSO - there WILL be orchestras on 5/14 but NOT 5/21 (Julie is away on 5/21). Don't worry, if your child plays violin and is in the graduation rehearsal, he/she will be done in time to get to orchestra.

Please let Shelley know if you have any questions. (beardshelley@aol.com)
