"Toys for Tots" needs our help!

Chorus students and families,
I realize it's a tough time of year financially for us all, as well as the fact that we still find ourselves amidst a struggling economy...

However, the Toys for Tots Foundation is far behind on collections in the Atlanta area this year. If you are able to contribute a new, unwrapped gift (1 or more:) for a small child, someone less fortunate will be most grateful this holiday season. It simply breaks my heart to think of any child going without something to open Christmas morning.

Drop new toys in the boxes provided in the Chorus Room before the last bell rings on Thursday, 12/22. I will be taking those we collect to a donation site at Toys 'R Us this Thursday following final exams.

A Very Happy Holidays To You All,
Mrs. Wilson

ASO Field Trip is TOMORROW!

Saturday, 12/10, ASO Concert Joint Field Trip with Orchestra.
Those that are participating have already signed up and know who they are. Students and chaperones should report to the chorus room between 12:30-12:45pm. Wear nice, school appropriate attire (please no jeans, running shoes, etc). Cell phones will NOT be permitted to be "ON" during the hours of 1:30-4:15pm, while we are audience members for the concert and the meet and greet with conductors and musicians. It's proper etiquitte to have them off; participation in future chorus field trips will be determined by the choice you make with regard to this. Parents, we should be back on the Wheeler campus between 4:45-5pm. Note that cell phones will be permitted on the bus ride in order to make sure you are aware of our return time. Please plan accordingly to arrive promptly to retrieve your students. Thank you. Can't wait for y'all to witness all the fine musicians (but especially Morehouse) in action!
