RECORDERS!!!


The Recorders Are Coming! The Recorders Are Coming!




4th grade students will begin bringing their recorders home this week!

A notice was sent home last week to let parents/guardians know that students
would begin bringing home their recorders this week! All 4th grade students will 
need to find 10 minutes a day, 3-4 times a week (bare minimum) to practice their
recorders in order to stay on top of the challenging Recorder Karate curriculum!
Click on 'Recorders' at the top of this page to learn more and for more information!
