A Note from the Teacher:
I’m really looking forward to conferences fast approaching. We have been
working hard and I’m excited to share your students achievements with you. If you
forgot your scheduled conference time or need to reschedule, please e-mail or call me
so we can find a different time that works.

and friends are welcome to attend the 10:25am performance. We hope to see you
there.
