Great job to Viking choir members who performed this morning at the honors breakfast. Your sound was great, even if the mics didn't pick all of it up :)

This week the 7th and 8th grade chorus students will have a memorization quiz on "You Can't Stop the Beat" make sure to see Mrs. Walter if you are unable to make your scheduled lesson.

Next week will be C week for lessons (explor or PE classes) Check the schedule if you don't remember your time.

That's all for now. As always, if you have questions, see Mrs. Walter and all will be worked out :)
