The time before Christmas break...

Since the last newsletter, report cards have been completed, and this, as always, is an opportunity to tangibly revisit each Little Lamb's progress since the beginning of the year. I am so proud of each of them for their different strengths and accomplishments. I have suggested to a number of you that a meeting would be advantageous to further your child’s musical development. I am confident that we may find a mutually agreeable time to meet. For any parent, wishing to meet with me for any reason, please reach out. My email address is: [email protected]

The time before Christmas break is a happy whirlwind. We are so excited about the Showcase on December 4th. I love the first showcase of the year as you will see some of the process/activities that happen in a typical class, thus gaining an appreciation of the hard work that your child is doing. The busyness of that week continues with our First Friday Mass where the Little Lambs will have the chance to sing, “The Angel Gabriel From Heaven Came” as the Communion Motet. Having the chance to do their Nine Lessons and Carols selection before that event is so advantageous. They work so hard on many things and to have the chance to sing repertoire more than once is such a perk. The Nine Lessons and Carols rehearsal on that same Friday, may be a challenging day for some; however, we are all very mindful of that and have taken care to orchestrate the day so that it may be a positive experience for them. The following day, December 7th - over half of the choir will participate in the BVCC Seniors’ Luncheon. I know that our 10 minute program will allow the Little Lambs to shine and will delight their audience. Thank you again to those families who have chosen to let their child participate in this non-mandated event.

Nine Lessons and Carols has become a most valued event for the Schola. It is such a beautiful way to prepare for the Christmas season. Please refer to all of the information circulated and do what you can to ensure that your child is able to fully participate and shine - even though this event takes them past their bedtimes.
