Fort River Chorus Concert - DATE CHANGE
Dear Folks,
I unwittingly set our Fort River Winter Chorus Concert for
Dec. 16th, which is the first night of Hanukkah. As this would be a major
schedule conflict for some of our students, we are changing the date of the winter
concert to the following:
Tuesday, December 9th at 7 pm at the Amherst Middle School auditorium. The chorus is comprised of the fourth
and fifth grades. Our daytime concert for the school will be held at 2 pm on Monday,
December 8th at 2 pm in the Fort River
gym.
Please alert parents and families to this change in our schedule.
FYI: Our spring
concert will be held on Tuesday, May 26th at the Amherst Middle School.
Please put this onto your calendars. The chorus for
this concert will be comprised of the 5th and 6th grades.
Thanks!
