Dear 9th Grade Parents, I hope this message finds you well! We are thrilled to announce that our 9th-grade students will be going on an exciting field trip to the Musical Instrument Museum (MIM) on Friday, October 4th. This visit will provide an incredible opportunity for students to explore a diverse collection of musical instruments from around the world and learn about the cultural significance of music. Although typically Fridays are Spirit Days, all 9th-graders must be in a regular school uniform for this trip. If they are not in school uniform, they will not be permitted to go on the field trip. Details of the trip:
We encourage all students to bring their curiosity and enthusiasm as they engage with interactive exhibits and learn about the history of music. Thank you for your support!
