1 Principal Curtis will be hosting a series of student listening sessions during Pride on March 20 th, 22 nd, and 27 th in room 148. Please encourage students to sign up who may be interested in helping to define our school s direction as we move into the school year.

2 CONCERT CHOIR AUDITIONS for School Year!!! Students that are NOT presently in Concert Choir will need to make arrangements with me to audition during PRIDE, LUNCH or afterschool on March 26, 27, or 28. Students should bring print music of a song that they are well prepared to sing to the audition. No recordings please. Mrs. Kauffeld will play the piano for the audition, thus the need for the print music. Students can sing a classical solo, hymn, folk song, patriotic piece, a section of a choir piece or another song of their choosing that showcases their vocal ability. Students will be evaluated on the performance of that piece, as well as rhythm reading and sight singing skills. There is nothing to prepare ahead of time for the rhythm reading or sight singing. If you have questions about the audition, please reach out to Mrs. Kauffeld.

3 Any boys who are interested in playing golf and missed last week s meeting should stop by Mr. Dahl s room in 319 to pick information about the upcoming season. This coming Sunday, March 18 th we will be having our final golf open gym from 7:00-8:15 in the field house. Anyone is welcome to come! Questions-please talk with Mr. Dahl.

6 World Down Syndrome Day is a global awareness initiative that is held annually on March 21 st. The date is clever in that people with Down Syndrome have 3 copies of the 21 st chromosome. A few ideas to support World Down Syndrome Day: wear fun socks (brightly colored, mismatched, or even 3 socks), wear blue and yellow colors (colors designated for Down Syndrome), or help educate family and friends. The Down Syndrome Guild of Greater Kansas City has released a video (Just Like You) explaining Down Syndrome that explains how children with Down Syndrome are more alike than different. The video can be viewed at this link -
