Hello, Choir Families,
Our next big performance is Melodies in March on Monday, March 16! Please see the attached letter with more information regarding this event.
The calendar originally listed next week (February 18) as a no-choir day. However, I will be offering an optional choir rehearsal during our normal time. With Melodies in March approaching quickly, I feel an additional rehearsal would be helpful. I know many choir students are involved in the musical, and that this is a busy time, so please know there is absolutely no pressure to attend.
Attached are the songs the students will be singing. Please encourage your student to practice at home!

Sincerely,
Haley Kline

Program Highlights
5th Grade Kindness Community
Student Leaders
At Breton Downs, fifth grade student leaders teach K-4th grade students the importance of kindness and giving back to the community. Each year, the Fifth Grade Kindness Community nominates a community organization to raise money for and creates a craft to teach the school about that organization.
We are so proud of these student leaders!
Camp Miniwanca
Camp Miniwanca
Breton Downs fifth-grade students start the year with an overnight experience at Camp Miniwanca in Shelby, MI. In addition to experiencing hands-on science lessons, students also bond together through team-building challenges, nature hikes and canoeing, and all the challenges that make up a classic camp adventure. The interpersonal threads that tie together on this trip bind Breton Downs fifth graders for the rest of their final year of elementary school, and beyond.
Elementary Musical
Elementary Musical
The elementary musical is a very special opportunity in which every student can be involved! Students in grades K-1 are able to learn a song and dance and perform live on stage at the start of the show. Second graders have the added opportunity to make a cameo appearance. Students in grades 3-5 may showcase their singing and acting skills on stage or work behind the scenes helping with costumes, artwork, setting the stage, lights and sound, directing peers, and more! This is a wonderful opportunity for the entire Breton Downs Elementary school community to work and grow together!
BRAVO!
BRAVO! Fundraiser
Bravo! is a fun-filled night out for parents that directly supports our students as the largest fundraiser for the Breton Downs PTO. Parents come together for appetizers, drinks, games, auctions, raffles and live entertainment! This is a great community-builder for the families of Breton Downs students.
