STILL CURRENT

MUSICAL VOLUNTEER NEEDED

Hello! The school year is just zooming by and it is already time to start planning for the musical! The musical is for students in 5th - 8th grades. This is a wonderful opportunity for students to showcase their God given talents to the community! I am looking for help from parents this year to help with the different moving part of the musical, more specifically a vocal director. This job would typically take three weeks (at the least) for students to learn the vocal parts with a piano. I would then need you to come for the last two weeks to polish up the singing. There would be a stipend available. Please contact Rose Frazer (third grade teacher) at rose.frazer@st-paul.pvt.k12.ia.us if you are interested in this role, or with helping at all with the musical. Thank you!
***************
