of snow days that cause us to

days. Please stay tuned to email

Register
for Choir Next Year
Students, don’t forget to get your
friends to sign up for choir next year.
We want to spread the fun around! Talk
to your friends, younger siblings who
may be coming to LHS, or others who might
be in a play or another class with you.
If they can carry a tune, we’ll
find a place for them. Refer possible
singers to Mr. Marsh or Mrs. Graham! The
more the merrier.
We start choosing classes for next year
very soon!
WebSite
Info:
As you can see throughout this e-newsletter
we have offered many links to our information.
We try very hard to keep things updated
online. The calendar is usually very up-to-date
(sometimes the times say 1:00am - but
they are usually accurate other than that.)
Forms:
We have also added a forms page for you
and your student to have easy access to
the forms we frequently use. These include
travel permits and medical info forms.
SCAPA Voice
We also have added a SCAPA voice page.
The Choral Department and SCAPA Vocal
program have worked hand-in-hand over
the past years and section you will see
continue to grow over the coming weeks.
