I hope all is well with you, and that you’ve had a chance to notice the beautiful fall trees up all over town.

A few reminders:

• Thank you to all of the families whose singers were able to join us for the MET Opera viewing last Saturday! We had a wonderful educational time, and received many compliments from community members about the students’ behavior and opera awareness.

The team of directors come from different directions all over town and cannot guarantee your child will be supervised until 3:45 each week. Singers should be picked up from WMS no later than 5:20pm following weekly rehearsals. Thank you for respecting the evening commitments of the team of directors.
