Dear Parents,

Congratulations to Dillon Ashby, Kendall Bell, Jordan Crosby, Jonathan Holden, Brad Pouncey, and other members from Richland 2 High Schools in the Richland 2 Jazz Orchestra for their spectacular performance at the South Carolina Music Educators State Convention this past weekend in Charleston! Also, congratulations to Mat Smith for being awarded the Jazz Educator Award from the National Band Association; an well deserved recognition from a very prestigious body of educators.

In order to reduce our fees, I encourage you to sell your Fair Share in our Winter Fundraiser. Orders and money is due Tuesday of next week.
