Jefferson Orchestra Parent Invitation

[Ms. Burnes]

Dear Jefferson Orchestra Parent,

The Jefferson Orchestra Program is an exciting and active organization. We are excited to have an enthusiastic group of students who are involved in the music making process.

An equal source of pride is the orchestra's parent support group. These dedicated parents have given unselfishly of their time and talents to provide enrichment experiences for the students involved in our program.

During the course of the school year, our orchestra parents make a difference. Annual projects help raise needed funds to offset the costs involved in equipment and related educational expenses. Our orchestra parents also help manage uniform maintenance and distribution and serve as chaperones.

Equal to all of these jobs is the important role as an audience member. The loudest statement a parent can make to their child is through attendance at concerts and performances. The child may not come right out and say "thanks", but they will certainly appreciate and value your support.

On Tuesday, September 11th at 7:00 P.M., the Jefferson Orchestra Parent Association (JOPA) will be meeting in the Jefferson Orchestra Room to discuss upcoming events and support activities. The meeting should not last more than an hour. Please try to clear your calendar and attend. By attending and participating in our parent support group, you can stay informed of the activities of the Jefferson Orchestra Program.

 

I look forward to seeing you at our meeting.

Sincerely,

Katie Burnes
Director of Orchestras
