Hello Tigers,

The next couple of weeks are going to fly by. Check out this newsletter for some important info about this time frame. Also, some nasty germs are going around, please remind your students about the importance of good sleep, drinking plenty of water, washing hands, not sharing drinks, and using hand sanitizer. Let's finish the semester strong!

Such a fantastic day for music. Today in Manhattan Kansas, the North Central district of KMEA(Kansas Music Educators Association) met and had performances by the All District Band, Orchestra, Mixed, and Treble Choirs. This is the event that our 108 students tried out for at the beginning of November. We had two students who qualified and were selected for today. Anna L'Ecuyer and Tucker Huband were among the top musicians in our North Central district, and they represented Washington County so well. I am so proud of all their hard work, dedication, and I want to echo what the band clinician Dr Shawn Knopp, from Friends University said. "Don't stop making music, keep playing," keep singing, "the world needs it, our souls need it". Thank you for making me the proudest director in the state!

Thank you to everyone who came to see Mr. and Mrs. Claus today in Washington. The FBLA members enjoyed seeing and helping all the young children.
