Activity Block Choirs - Great Start!

Wow! What a GREAT first week for all of our Activity Block Choirs! Cantabile, Chamber Choir, Men's Choir, and 6th Grade Honor Choir all sound fantastic. I am very excited to get to work with these ensembles. If your student does not have a choir on their schedule and would like to please have them speak with me on Monday.

Gianni Delivery - Wed. October 25th

Our scheduled delivery is Wednesday, October 25 at 11:00am. We will need some volunteers to help get everything into the auditorium and separated so families can pick up their items that afternoon. If you are able to help with this, please let me know! All fundraiser items need to be picked up from the H.B. auditorium on Wednesday, October 25 between 3:00-7:00pm. We have very limited refrigeration space here at H.B., so picking up the food items is very important. If that date and time are bad for you, please enlist the help of a friend, neighbor or relative to help out!

NYC Trip - November 1, 2017 (7th/8th Grade)

Students and Parents: An informational packet including itinerary, group assignments, and bus seating assignments will be sent home early this week.
Chaperones: Please read and sign the Chaperone Agreement Form that will be sent home with the packet.

Thank You's from UD Students

Our UD Practicum Students who have been visiting us over the last month have completed their hours at HB. All five were both thankful for the opportunity to work with the HB Choirs and highly complimentary of all of our classes. I am extremely proud of all of our students for being fantastic learners and teachers for the UD students. In the words of Mr. Bastianelli, "We are... Warrior Strong!" Congratulations Choirs on a job well done!
