Cantar!, Creekside’s chorus, is open to all 4th and 5th graders who like to sing. This year, Cantar! meets 8:00 a.m. on Tuesdays and Fridays in the MPR. During the last weeks of August, an interest/permission form will be sent home with all 4th graders and with interested 5th graders. Please encourage your child to join this worthwhile and energizing group for its many benefits. Singing first thing in the morning helps to awaken and focus children for the balance of the day, learn self-discipline, how to work together constructively with others, and how to sing well at their ability levels. I request that students arrive five minutes early to retrieve folders and prepare for rehearsal. Our first rehearsal is Tuesday, September 18th, and each child will bring home a calendar bi-monthly. The best news of all: There is no cost to join - I even provide a folder. (We do purchase shirts later to identify our wonderful group.)
