Welcome, Lightridge Chorus Families -
It has been such an exciting start to the school year! The chorus room has been filled with harmony, students have been sneaking snacks out of my office, and I’ve been distancing myself from your new drivers in the school parking lot. I have had such an incredible time reuniting with students the past couple of weeks and building relationships with my new students as well. Not many teachers have the privilege of watching students grow from year to year. I feel nothing but gratitude for having the opportunity to teach your children.
As many of you know, building a strong relationship with the families of my students is a priority of mine. The Lightridge Sings Newsletter will share updates with you about the Lightridge Chorus Program!
Handbook + Calendar
Below is the Lightridge Chorus Handbook and Chorus Calendar. Once you have taken a look at both of these please complete the Permission Click and pay the Course Fee. If you have any questions about these two items, please email me at helai.karim@lcps.org. All forms and payments are due on Friday, October 15th.
Please acknowledge the change that was made for our Coffee House Concert to Friday, November 10th at 7:00 PM. This change was made to accommodate the immense number of conflicts with winter sports tryouts. Students will still have rehearsal on Tuesday, November 9th for sound checks. I appreciate the flexibility with this!
SPIRIT WEAR
Lightridge Chorus will be selling fundraising apparel from until November 1st! Visit the website through Cheer Sports to purchase apparel. All apparel will be delivered through CheerSports.
Parent Involvement
There are many elements of a choral program that need to be established for our students to have the best experience possible filled with valuable opportunities. For this reason, I hope to collaborate with families to establish traditions [scholarships | college visits | community service] that will contribute to the overall value that this program can bring to our community. Please fill out the form below if you are interested in being a member of the LCPA!
I am blessed to be at Lightridge and cannot wait to see what we accomplish this year as a department. I am beyond ready to have students make memories and grow as musicians. Go Bolts!
Best,
Helai Karim
