calling her, is a senior at Riverview H.S. Ms. Chelsea has an interest in 
studying music education in college and becoming a middle school music 
teacher. She has been singing with the Riverview H.S. Chorus and Center 
Stage, under the direction of Betty Mullet, for four years. Ms. Chelsea

Welcome Back to school SMS Music Students and Parents! I am looking forward 
to an exciting school year and I hope you are too!

As in past years, my music students will have the opportunity to sing, play 
instruments, read music, create music, and develop their musical talent this 
year.

My students will not only learn about music, but will also focus on the five 
principles of "Community of Caring." The following principles will be 
examined and implemented in our classroom: 
                              CARING
                              RESPECT
                              RESPONSIBILITY
                              TRUST
                              FAMILY

My first goal of the school year is to help the SMS families and students who 
may be facing financial and emotional hardships by collecting extra school 
supplies (backpacks/pencils/notebooks/paper etc.) 

An informational letter on our "School Supply Drive" will go home with your 
student on Monday, August 24th. The deadline for donations will be on Monday, 
August 31st. The donated supplies will be delivered to the front office and 
given to any SMS student who may be of need.

Please feel free to contact me at 361-6464 anytime! 

Thank you for your continued support of our music program!

Mrs. Nadia S. Veremchuk
Music Director

PS> Please check the "Supply List" on the Music webpage for information on 
the supplies your child will need for my class. All students must have their 
school supplies by Monday, August 31st. 

Students will have a "Supply Check" in class on Monday, August 31st.

THANKS IN ADVANCE!
