SCHEDULE, NEW, AND EVENTS FOR WEEK ENDING NOVEMBER 18

BAND
Dear Ryan Band Member:

Most of us are making good progress on our instruments so far. Make sure you are practicing regularly - 10-15 minutes a day as part of your homework. Try to play at least 2 sticker songs every week.

Marching Band Day CancelledIn case you missed the earlier announcement, tomorrow's Marching Band Day has been cancelled, since TMHS is not playing a home game. There may be another marching opportunity later this year, though, so stay tuned....

Parent/Teacher NightI will be at the Ryan on Wednesday night during Parent/Teacher Conferences. Let me know if you'd like to schedule a time to meet, or feel free to drop by the Band Room at any time.

Late Bus!

A late bus option is now available for Ryan School students two days a week. The bus leaves at 3:45 on Tuesdays and Thursdays. Please see the earlier email from Mrs. McInnes for more details.
