Dear Parents,

I need your help! If you purchased a band book from me and you paid with cash will you please email me and let me know! I have had students put cash in the box with no names and I have no idea who they belong to!
Thank you,

Dear Parents and Students,

Band Binders are HERE!!!!! These binders will be for sale for $1.50. Many of you have already turned in your money.If you want to buy one on your own then it must be a 1/2 inch black binder with the plastic cover to insert their name in it.

Please make sure that ALL money (fees, binder, books, or reeds) comes to school in an envelope(or ziplock bag) with the student’s name on it. I have had some students put money in the box with no name and then I do not know who gave it to me.

Thank you so much for all that you do,

Ms. Thacker

Hello Parents,

Jump Start Camp is this Saturday (August 26th) from 9am-12pm. This is my favorite parts of the year because everyone is so excited to get their instrument and start playing.

Parents should drop their student off at the back of the school where the bus lane is before 9am. Students will meet in the gym and await instructions.

If you have your own instrument and did not buy one from the music company then please make sure not to forget it.

Parents may pick their child up at 12pm in the same location.

Thank you so much for everything and I am looking forward to it!!!!!!

Sincerely,

Jessica Thacker

Dear Parents,

Tonight is instrument night for our 6th graders. This is for anyone who is new or veterans to band. If you are you this year you will talk to someone about renting or buying an instrument. If you are a veteran then you can buy your essential elements book 2, a really neat folding stand, and any cleaning supplies you might need. If you are a veteran and you can not attend I will have the books that you can purchase from me, but I will NOT have the stands or cleaning supplies. Also the stands are not required for class, but they make a great asset for practicing at home.

ALSO if you are a 5th grader and you could not come to the instrument night on Monday I need for you to come tonight!

I look forward to seeing you tonight!!!

Sincerely,

Jessica Thacker

Hello parents,

My name is Jessica Thacker and I am the new director at the Middle School. I have already had the pleasure of meeting many of you, but if I have not already I am looking forward to it.

Instrument night for 6th grade is tomorrow night in the gym from 5pm-8pm. You may come anytime during that time frame. This is where you can talk to someone about buying or renting an instrument. This is a MUST for my new players or any student wishing to switch instruments. If your student was in band last year they do not have to attend unless you want to. This is a GREAT opportunity to upgrade instruments, buy cleaning supplies, Book 2 (which EVERY student will need), and a really neat folding music stand. If you do not come then you can buy book 2 from me for $10

I will be sending a letter home either tomorrow or Thursday about Jump Start Camp, which is this Saturday.

Camp is from 9am-12pm and will start out in the gym.
