First Day of School 9/4

Our first day of school is September 4 at 9am sharp.  Please park at 36th, 40th, or 41st Ave. at 8:45am so you can be at the gate at 8:50 and walk down to the school by 8:55.  That will give us time to sing all together before the parents leave promptly at 9am and drive/ride away no later than 9:10am.

It's ok for your child to have a sense of mystery and awe on this first day.  We've all met each other and the land so if you trust fully in bringing them to our school your children will sense that.  It will be all the better if they arrive unrushed, bellies full of warm, healthy food, with their lunches and proper clothing and materials (please see parent handbook.)

We'll be exploring harmonious sound by playing Choroi Pentatonic Flutes  We will be offering them for a donation of $65-105.  (65 is what we pay, 105 is what they cost at the store.)  They make an excellent gift.  We may be making flutes ourselves later in the school year, but these particular flutes are ideal for learning and will become heirlooms with proper care.  They are made in part by folks with special needs for purposes of therapeutic education.  Here's a video on their production:




Let me know if you're unable to make the donation, and we can arrange for your child to borrow a pentatonic flute.
