MCS Sixth Graders Audition for Music Festivals

      Four of our MCS sixth graders took on the challenge of preparing and auditioning for one of the Green Mountain Music District music festivals.  On the evening of November 12, Mary Kate Clark (saxophone), Robin Kuhns (bassoon), Courtney Panton (vocal), and Bailey Sherwin (vocal) went to Otter Valley High School to try out for a place in either the band or chorus.  These students put in extra hours of practices to learn audition pieces.  Students from grades 6-8 from 56 schools were eligible to audition.  I’m sure these students are eager to learn the results of their auditions.  Many thanks to Ms. Katherine Clark for her time driving and chaperoning these students to Otter Valley for their auditions.  In addition, on the evening of Nov. 5, I chaperoned 27 Mt. Abraham H.S. students from Grades 9-12 for their music festival auditions at Proctor High School.  I have a bit of pride in stating that 11 of those students are MCS graduates!                                             Sandra Dahl

 

Picture Retakes

            Lifetouch School Photographers will be here on Friday, November 21, to do retakes if you were not satisfied with your student’s pictures and would like to have then done again and for students who were absent and would like to buy a package.  If you are having retakes, please follow the instructions on the flyer inside the picture packages.  Retakes will be taken in the gym starting at 8:30 a.m.
