Last Week of September

2019-09-22T17:57:41-07:00

Dear Parents, We had a very exciting field trip to Tombstone last Friday. Thank you to everyone who attended as chaperones. The students were focused and enjoyed some fun time with their friends throughout the day.  Students still need to work individually on music and basics like tone production.

Dew, Sierra Mist, [...]
