Notice for Elementary Students

All elementary (4, 5, 6) students need a music duo-tang. It can be any colour or design. They will need to bring this duo-tang to every music class and it will be an important part of their assessment for the year. I have extra duo-tangs if providing one is an issue. Thank you so much!
