� Holiday Pictures  �
For our door decorations, we are collecting pictures of the students celebrating winter holidays with their families.  Please send in one or more pictures with your student some time this week.  These pictures will be returned.

Messiah Sing-Along � Please excuse a bit of shameless self-promotion.  My choir is sponsoring a Sing-Along of Handel�s Messiah this Sunday (11/23) at 7:00 PM in the Duke Chapel.  Approximately half of the oratorio (around 90 minutes) will be performed.  (Don�t worry - we will do the Halleluiah Chorus!)  The event is free to the public, and you are welcome to either sing or listen.  This is a great way to introduce children to a beautiful work of music in a less formal setting.
