Uniform Pinning Round 2
New students and returning students who ordered a new uniform and have yet to have their dress/tux pants pinned, our Seamstress will be in class at the beginning of 4th Block NEXT Friday, November 14th to pin remaining uniforms in preparation for hemming.  It is imperative that students that are receiving new uniforms and have yet to be pinned come to the choir room at the start of 4th Block in order to get uniforms prepared for our upcoming Winter Concert.  Any email will be sent to all teachers the morning of excusing students for the first portion of the class.

Grissom Choir Glow Run
I am VERY excited to host our first Glow Run Next Saturday.  For those running in the event, or those on Leadership Team & our Volunteer Group, we are moving all scheduled events for the run forward 1 hour, with the start of the Glow Run now beginning at 5:00pm.  An email will be sent to all participants this coming week with the updated schedule and all other logistics!

Chamber Choir WHNT Recording
This year, the Chamber Choir will be traveling to the WHNT Studio on Tuesday, November 18th to record carols that will then be broadcasted on air throughout the month of December.  All Chamber Choir students should report to the choir room at the beginning of 2nd block on this day for final preparations before we depart via bus, and will return before the end of the school day.  An email will be sent to all teachers the day before excusing students from 2nd, 3rd, and 4th block.
