CVHS Instrumental Music Email Newsletter			date 2/14/08 / issue #6.17
FALCON NOTES Extra credit works! I was pleased with the turn out of last Tuesday's parent meeting. This is a crucial time for CV Instrumental music. We have many opportunities for people to get involved. Currently, there is a high percentage of Senior and Junior parents who attend the meetings. We need some new Freshmen and Sophomore parents to begin thinking of ways in which they can volunteer. From chaperoning, making phone calls and translating, to being on a committee or even on the board, it takes everyone to help keep a stable and worthwhile department. Many things that we need help with are just one time events that require minimal time and effort. I truly want to avoid parent burn-out and currently we have some very dedicated parents performing duties which could easily be divided. Thank you for your understanding and support!
