4) Aug 18 WSHS Beat Beethoven 5K Run!
Save the date - and start training! We're going to put on a 5K run in August. Here's how it goes - when you sign up, you'll receive a CD with a recording of Beethoven's 5th symphony. It's about 37 minutes. That's your training CD. Your goal is to run the 5K in time to beat the last note of the Symphony.

More details will be forthcoming.

5) Chamber 2012-13 meeting 6/11
Next year's Chamber - meeting on Monday at 12:40, after 3rd period final. If you need a ride because you'll be missing the bus, please let me know. We will meet and then rehearse. Plan on about 2 hours. Bring a lunch or plan for lunch (cafeteria is open that day. Pizzas can be ordered).
