Today, Friday, February 3, Dr. Bill Allred will be at Highland to talk to students about the Burlington Boys Choir. This group is open to all boys in grades Kindergarten through 5th and holds weekly rehearsals. Dr. Allred (and Mrs. Hydrick) will be in the Music room from 11:00-1:00 and any boys who are interested in learning more about this group can meet with him during their lunchtime. This is just an interest meeting - attendance does not mean your child has been signed up to join.
