Chorus: The PK-2nd chorus (Wednesday afternoons) currently has 42 kids. Some parents have volunteered to help Ms. Black. Ms. Whittaker and Ms. Singh also will help. The upper grade chorus (Tuesday mornings)- has 20 kids enrolled so far. 118 kids have signed up for an enrichment class through PTA. Not including private vendors. We have a request to have the people running the Spanish program come to the Jan. 11 meeting. Possible we could get other outside vendors to come as well. Group holds a discussion of having a paid coordinator who can organize all of enrichment. Perhaps a staff member. Upcoming Events (Judy Goodstein, Jolyon Bowman) Holiday lunch was a great success. Thanks to everyone who contributed, volunteered. Group discussion took place on possible changes to staffing for 2017 holiday lunch.
