Happy
Halloween!
'Tis the Season to be Scary! Celebrate Halloween the Lafayette Choir way: with Pumpkin Carols. http://www.lafayettechoir.org Lexington Dining Club Books http://www.lafayettechoir.org/diningclubbooks.html The Lafayette Choirs are getting ready to launch their second major fundraiser of the year! Lexington Dining Club Books will be passed out to students on November 2 and 3. If you have not opted out of fundraisers, we expect everyone's participation in fundraisers. If you did not sell cookie dough - we expect you to sell double on this sale! We have several big activities planned for the Spring which come with a big price tag for transportation (particularly with high fuel prices). We don't want to scale back our plans because of lack of funding! There are some new incentives to reward for participation in sales! So let's all do our part to help the choir! Cash prize for the Top Seller! Cash incentives! Student Credits! And Candy Draws for every 2 books sold! (For exact details, see: http://www.lafayettechoir.org/diningclubbooks.html Portfolio Writing: (Due November 21 and 22) Every class at Lafayette is required to assign a portfolio writing piece. It is that time again! On Monday and Tuesday (Oct 31 and Nov 1) we will pass out the portfolio writing packets! If you have lost misplaced yours, please download a new packet from the website. This is an important assignment (since the choirs are performance classes, we have few writing assignments) therefore it is important to take this assignment seriously. Of course this is not a writing class, but it is important to give a good effort. Whatever you do - make sure you turn something in (otherwise it can dramatically alter your grade) Parents, please ask your students about this paper. http://www.lafayettechoir.org/portfolios.html Makeup Assignments: The Lafayette Choir Absence policy requires that all (excused) absences from a performance and any daily rehearsal excused absences over three per semester require a make-up assignment be submitted. Please see the Makeup assignment handout. http://www.lafayettechoir.org/MakeupAssignments.pdf All First Semester makeup work is due by Monday December 5.
