Reminder: Singers in Grades 4 – 8 Wanted

Saint James School and Saint Bridget School are proud to be supporting The Wall That Heals during its time in Manchester this September.

There will be several ways that our schools will participate – one of which is hosting a joint choir to sing at Charter Oak Park (where The Wall will be stationed) during the POW/MIA ceremony on Friday, September 20th.

If your (4th – 8th Grade) student(s) would be interested in performing a couple of patriotic songs and has transportation to/from Charter Oak Park on the evening of September 20th, please fill out the Google Form below.  Our Middle School Music Teacher, Mrs. McKeever-DeLeon, has volunteered to work with interested SJS students after school hours (2:00pm – 2:40pm) on 9/4, 9/11, and 9/18 to put together a performance.

Please note, parents/guardians of participating students must be able to bring them to Charter Oak Park on Friday, September 20th for 6:30pm AND stay with them throughout the event.

Please sign your student(s) up using this link if they would like to participate and can make all the dates: https://forms.gle/1mMafTzZXMuuoPNAA
