Are you as excited as we are? This Tuesday is our last co-op for the semester! It’s a day you don’t want to miss, even if you weren’t a part of co-op this semester. All day will be a book fair with cash and carry books from Usborne Books. This will be followed by our private lesson sign up at 3 pm, and then come see what our students have been up to by attending our Fall Showcase. We’ll have a slideshow and performances from both choirs and others. Bring a fingerfood to share! Show starts at 4pm.
