FLU PREVENTION

As you may have noticed, we have installed hand sanitizers in six locations in our building. Please use them before coming into your teacher's studio for your lesson. They are easy to use - just place your hands below the unit to operate.

If the student is ill, please do not come to your lesson. Please do call your teacher and inform them that you need to cancel due to illness. If we all are careful, we can keep the flu out of our school and thus keep everyone well. We have been advised that hand washing is the most critical element of helping with the flu.

REMEMBER WCM WITH A CONTRIBUTION

With the economic turmoil going on it is even more important that we continue to have YOUR support this year! Many families are losing jobs and all are experiencing how tight things are financially. If you are able to help, please assist us in funding scholarhips for those students who might have to give up music because of the lack of funding. Any amount is welcome but, being totally honest, the more the better! One hundred percent of every donated dollar goes to fund scholarships. Won't you PLEASE help. Click here to donate online. If you still need a contribution for 2009, you can still contribute under that year - date your check 2009.
