1. Parent Teacher conferences
Please e-mail teachers directly to set up an appointment for a parent teacher conference this week if you have not already done so. If your child is in Beginner’s Latin, you must set up an appointment with Mrs. Martin.

2. Starlighting
Starlighting will be this Saturday, November 19th in downtown Castle Rock. Please send an e-mail to Ed Sun to sign up for a time slot when you can help man our booth. The event starts at 2:30 so we have to be completely set up by that time. It runs until 5:30. Mrs. Bass will be heading up our carolers to sing at the event. She would love to include more students for some “fun” carols so please speak with her this week if you or your student would like to join in!

3. SCRIP Orders – due 11/15/11
Please turn in your SCRIP order to the front office by the end of the day on Tuesday, November 14th. For those of you who are not familiar with this fundraising program, you are purchasing gift cards at face value and we receive a percentage of what you pay through the program. All you have to do is mark down on the order sheet, how many cards of whatever vendors/value you would like and give us a check for the exact amount of your card total. So, if you order a $25 gift card, you give us a check for $25. There is NO additional cost to you. As you can see on the order form, the percentages vary from vendor to vendor so please keep that in mind. In other words, some vendors give us more money back than others. Orders will be placed at the end of the day on Tuesday and will be ready for pick up on Friday, November 18th. At this time, our cards, other than the King Soopers’ cards, are non-reloadable.

If you would like to order a King Soopers card, please write it down in one of the blank spaces at the end of the SCRIP order form. Please include the amount you would like on that card from $10- $500.

4. Thank you!
We would like to thank all the parents who volunteered for our Peter and The Wolf, HONK! and Symphony field trips. Jeanette Anderson, Kathy Kinch, Alan Lordi, Stephanie and Chris Hunter, Patricia Tafoya, Marilyn Simpson, Neda Arami, Cara Billings, Mike Senary and Jennifer Muske, Ed Sun, Shannon Sliwinski, Pamela Gaytan, and Theresa Kyte. You all made our lives so much easier!

5. Girls’ Choir - longer practice
Girls Ensemble Choir will have an extended practice on Friday, November 18th in preparation for caroling at the Starlighting on Saturday. We plan to practice until at least 5:00 but I ask for your flexibility since we have a lot of material to cover and very little time.

6. No Scrapbooking until after Winter Break
Scrapbooking Club will not meet again until after the winter break. Girls Ensemble will have extended practices up until our concert date (only 3 weeks away!).

7. Holiday Concert – 12/9/11
Friday, December 9th is our Annual Winter Concert! I ask everyone to make a special effort to be there. We will be featuring each of our Music classes with unique talent and a show you don't want to miss. 7:00 at Church of Pentecost 821 5th Street, Castle Rock.

8. Opera fieldtrip - Middle School ONLY - 2/16/12
February 16th is our next field trip for Music. We will be seeing an opera written by Wolfgang Mozart, The Marriage of Figaro. It is a Middle School only trip. We will need 4 chaperones. However, any adult is welcome to come. Tickets for extra adults at $15.00. First come, first serve.

9. Materials for Music Class
Mrs. Bass is still in need of 2 liter bottles or cylindrical containers and old magazines for a music project. Thank you to everyone who has brought in their "trash" for Mrs. Bass’ "treasure."

10. Pajama Day – 11/22/11
Pajama day is November 22nd for all grades. Make it fun, appropriate and warm. Please wear shoes! Students will be read to during their Language Arts classes.
