Dear Parents of McNary Choir Students:

Please sign this form that you have received an updated calendar of your student’s concerts and events for the duration of the semester.

As we begin to close the first semester we call upon you again for your support in maintaining and improving our program. You can help in a variety of ways. First, please provide us with your contact information so we might continue to inform you of activities and events in the program. Second, please consider noting your ability to assist in volunteerism with after school activities and other events that support our students’ learning. Finally, we call upon you again to consider making the $35 donation to the program, which is tax deductible and of great value in supporting all our students with the purchase of music, technology and transportation to musical events. Checks may be made out to McNary High School, not McNary Choir. 

Thank you for your consideration and for your continued support of the McNary Choirs. Please contact me personally if you have questions or are able to provide additional assistance to our endeavors.
