MUSIC
NOTES 4th GRADE PARENTS – The fourth graders are very excited
about receiving their recorders in their music classes this week! They should have brought home a letter that
details the recorder program – please make sure your child gave it to you! Thanks!
BAND/INSTRUMENTAL MUSIC – We only had a few students who remembered to
bring in their September practice logs.
I’m hoping for a much better turnout for October! Please review
and sign their October practice logs and send them in to school. November
logs were sent home this week. Parents, please continue to encourage your
child to set up a reliable practice routine at home and help them remember to
practice; this goes such a long way toward their overall success! The first Instrumental Progress
Report of the year should come by the end of November. Especially if you have an earlier conference
with your child’s teacher, please keep a look out for this progress report in
your child’s backpack. We are continuing the concert-sharing program with the

EDIBLE
BOOK FAIR -
The New Durham Public Library announces its third annual Edible Book Fair to be
held (and eaten) on Saturday, Nov. 14 at 1:00 p.m. Entries can be an edible
representation of a book, book cover or character (think The Muffin Man made
from muffins); feature a food in the title (Tortilla Flat); or pun on the title
to include a food (Alice in Wonderbread). There are Adult and Children's
categories. Join in on the fun and whip up a tasty homage to reading. Even if
you don't serve up an entry, you're invited to browse the selections and vote
for your favorites, and then help devour the "books." Call the
Library at 859-2201 for more information, and to register your entry.
