Choir Department's "Give Back Week" - February 9-13, 2015

This week, the choir has been hard at work participating in the 1st annual "Give Back Week." This is a week that was created to encourage choir students (and all students) to give back to their friends, school, and community. Each day they were given an assignment and were asked to write a letter or create a card for someone else. 

They had a different category each day:
     Monday -  Thank you card/letter to a peer within their choir
     Tuesday - Thank you card/letter to a  peer outside of their choir, but within the school
     Wednesday - Thank you card/letter to an adult within the school (teachers, staff, etc.)
     Thursday - Valentine's Day cards for Snyder Village
     Friday - Thank you cards/letters to our Soldiers
