Pizza for Playground Update

In the past 3 weeks we have made $486 for our playground fund - thank you for your support! You are all awesome!

Just a reminder that we cannot sell single coupons. Please plan to buy the books of coupons - 5 coupons for $15. Most teachers are happy to keep them for your child. Thanks!

Big News

Mr. Lewis and his 7th graders are going to learn how to knit &/or crochet! They have big plans of donating finished goods to those in need. If anyone has any extra yarn, knitting needles, crochet hooks and most especially talent (a.k.a. know how), please consider joining us for community service after lunch any day of the week. We will be working fast and furious as there is about 30 min. allotted to this project each day.

Thanks in advance for any and all help!

Thank you, thank you

Last Thursday, 1/19, Pizza for Playground made $168 for the playground fund.

Thank you for your continued support!

Enrichment - Guitar lessons

Classes will be on Fridays from 8 to 4:30 beginning January 13, 2012.

Individual instruction will be on Guitar techniques, repertoire and music
theory. Classes will be for 4th thru 8th graders. Cost is $15 for each half
hour lesson. The total for the 8 class session is $120 and $16 for the guitar
book. I provide handouts for each student and work assignments after
each class. I will provide a guitar for each class but I recommend each
student purchase a guitar in order to do the homework.
The 8 classes will be held on:
January 13 and 27
February 3, 10 and 17
March 2, 9 and 16

Classes will be taught by Terry James Webb. Terry studied music in
Junior High and High School in Reno and played French horn in the
school bands. He also studied piano and guitar with private lessons.
He has played professionally in various Folk, Country and Rock bands in
the Reno area for many years. He has been repairing stringed instruments
for schools, music stores and private customers for over 25 years
(Sundanceguitars.com), and also teaches guitar classes at Carpenter's
Music Academy in Reno. Please contact us for more information.

And remember enrichment classes are OPEN to the public so please tell
anyone interested to contact us.
