Music Recording Volunteers Needed
Volunteers needed to help with recording your children's voices this spring. The PTO has a program where each child in the school is recorded singing their favorite song of the year. At the end of 4th grade, the kids bring these CDs home and you have great memories of what your child sounded like when they were young. However, we need help! If you would be interested, please email Julie Kanto at kantofamily@verizon.net.
We will be having an informational meeting after the holidays. This is a fun project that doesn't take a lot of time. Please consider helping! |
