Dear Burning Tree Families,
Noteworthy News!
♫ Congratulations to the Fourth Grade Chorus and the Advanced Band and Orchestra students for their
performances on February 4 and 5. They made the school proud with their display of hard work and talent!
♫ Third grade students received instructions for practicing recorder with our amazing pilot online curriculum,
Quavermusic.com. Please email me at [email protected] if you did not receive the instructions,
and I will be happy to assist you. Third graders should be practicing several days each week at home, as a
significant portion of the MP3 music curriculum and in preparation for our recitals this spring.
♫ Our school production of Shrek, The Musical Jr. comes to the Burning Tree stage April 15, 16 and 17.
Information on ticket sales will be sent out in early March via BTNet, so stay tuned!
