National Anthem � The Fourth & Fifth Grade Chorus has been invited to sing the national anthem at a Duke volleyball game on Friday, November 7.  We will meet in the lobby (closest to the football field) of Cameron Indoor Stadium at 6:45 PM.  (Families will need to provide their own transportation.)  Students will wear our purple shirts and their neutral bottoms, as they did for last week�s assembly.  After the singing of the anthem, families are welcome to stay for the game.  Please let me know if your child will be able to participate; we hope to have the entire chorus there to represent TDS.
