In the Director's Corner

Thank you to everyone who joined us for last week’s Open House and Parent Meeting—it was wonderful to connect with so many of you. If you weren’t able to make it, you can email me for the slideshow. 

This week is a big one for us. Running a strong program takes teamwork, creativity, and funding, and one of the ways we make our season possible is through community fundraisers. Our upcoming Pancake Breakfast is not only one of our largest annual events, but also one of the most fun. We’d love for you to invite friends, neighbors, and extended family to join us on Saturday morning for a hearty breakfast paired with live entertainment from the Sapphire Sound. It’s a chance to enjoy great food, wonderful music, and the company of our amazing community—all while directly supporting our students.

I look forward to seeing you at rehearsal, at the breakfast, and throughout this exciting week!

All In, Always. 

Musically Yours,

Mr. Lockie
