Dear Parents,
The Eastern View High School Choir has a lot going on in
October. Please try to check the blog at
least once a week for choir updates. The
Blog is at www.evhschoir.blogspot.com. I am also sending out choir e-mails at least
once a week. If you are not on the choir
email list please email me at trichtar@culpeperschools.org. The third way I am trying to keep parents
informed is through a texting service called remind 101.com. This service allows me to send out short
reminders for you. If you would like to
be a part of this please text @innovatsho to 540-827-4671. As always you can contact me at 540-825-0621
ext. 2335 o tichtar@culpeperschools.org. The following is happening in October:
1.

every student. They are the contract, medical, and photo form. These forms can be found on the choir blog
listed above or in the choir classroom.
Please help us get 100% of these forms in. All forms must be turned in
before students can take part in extra choir activities.
