MATTRESS FUNDRAISER
Congratulations! We did very well—we sold more than last year!  A big thank you to the students who entertained, both with a group and individually.  Those students who received mattress credits will be informed by email.

THIS WEEK'S HOMEWORK/LUNCH DETENTION
This week’s assignment is on time signatures.  You will find it on Classmarker on Monday. 

For all those with missing homework, you will be assigned lunch detention with me on Wednesdays.  Missing homework is not acceptable, especially when assignments generally take less than 10 minutes to complete.  Make sure your name is not on the list; if it is, you need to get it done by Tuesday at 7 pm. If not completed by then, you will be assigned lunch detention, even if you complete it before lunch on 10/11.  THERE IS NO EXCUSE.

SKIRT HEMMING
If you need your skirt hemmed, please sign up here for October 10, 12, or 14:
