Dates to Remember:
21st Annual Performathon - February 8, 2020
The Board at LFSMA wishes to thank all of our wonderful volunteers who helped enable our 20th Annual Performathon to run so smoothly!
-The LFSMA Performathon is our annual music recital for our students. Please come and support them....they've worked hard all year for this special day. We will also have refreshements and gift basket raffles...always a hit!
Student Notes regarding Performathon:
Once again we will be needing adult volunteers to sign up for times to help out throughout the day of the Performathon. There will be a sign up sheet for volunteers posted in the hallway once we get closer to the Performathon date. Please be sure to sign up. Your help is greatly appreciated!
Our RAFFLE BASKETS will be set up at least one week prior to the event. Students will be able to purchase raffle tickets from their teachers prior to the Performathon so they will not miss out on a chance to win their favorite basket.
The BAKE/FOOD SALE will take place during the event. We will need volunteers to help with the sale. A signup sheet will be in the hall. Be sure to sign up to bring in something for the bake sale and to help man the table during the event.
OTHER UPCOMING EVENTS
Our Cheesecake Factory cheesecake sale and Book Fair sale at Barns & Noble in Colonie Center with the student recital is being scheduled for at least once during the 2019-2020 school year.
A PANCAKE BREAKFAST (location TBA) and fundraiser at MacDonalds in Kinderhook are also being discussed. Watch your calendar or this site for more information.
Newly formed programs are beginning:
Our Young Composers program will be back! On a date in late winter our students will be showcasing pieces that they have written themselves. Their teachers will help them get started and guide them through the writing process. Some pieces will be solely instrumental and others may be their own poems put to music or a previously written poem put to music. The students' pieces will then be made into sheet music and performed.
Miss G would like to get the Wind Ensemble going again this February. This is a very small group and is much different than playing in a large school band. Each person in this group will be heard and is very important to the ensemble. There is a small, flexible fee to participate. Please see Miss Gretchen to sign up.
Financial Aid is available for our students. Please see your teacher for information. As of September 2019, LFSMA is happy to announce the addition to the financial aid scholarships for families in need. Grant money was also used in the past to purchase a laptop and Sibelius softwware program. Sibelius will allow the students in the Young Composers program to "engrave" their compositions and print them out like real sheet music. They will also be able to post their compositions to websites if desired.
We would also like to thank Stewarts Shops for their Holiday Match donation to our school this past January!
