Singing Sabres Choir
I am so excited to introduce you to 35 remarkable kids who are going to represent Stevenson this December at a very honoured event. Stevenson has been asked to sing with the prestigious Winnipeg Philharmonic Choir. These students were auditioned in June and we will now begin rehearsals on Thursday, Sept. 13, after school (3:40-5:00) in the music room. Parents of choristers, please see the tab, CHOIR: Singing Sabres for updates and information. Tickets have gone on sale and can purchased through this link to tickets or at the McNally Robinson Bookstore.
It is important that your child is at ALL rehearsals as we have a lot of music to learn and missing even one practice will put them behind and cause us to be less prepared.
For our first rehearsal, please bring - healthy snack - water bottle with your name labeled
If you haven't returned the purple form that was handed out in June with information, please print off here and return to Ms. Rempel ASAP. CHOIR FORM

Recorder Orders
Any new Grade 4/5 students to Stevenson and Grade 3 students will need a Yahama soprano recorder for the upcoming school year. Stevenson parents can purchase one from the school for only $6.25.
Please DO NOT purchase Dollarstore recorders for classroom use. If your child has a Yamaha recorder from another school, please send it labeled to the music room.
All school payments are to go through https://sjsd.schoolcashonline.com. If you haven’t signed up for an account, please do so ASAP in order to pay for your child’s recorder.
Once I have received notification of payment, I will issue a recorder. We keep our recorders in the music room throughout the year. Some students want to practice at home and I do suggest getting a second recorder (buy a cheaper one) to have at home. By parent note, I do allow some students to take them back and forth between home and school, but the general routine has been to keep them at school as many do not return them when needed for rehearsals. At the end of Grade 5, students take their recorders home for keeps.
If you have any questions, please contact me at the school (204) 832-1359 or via email: jrempel@sjsd.net
Thank-you,
Ms. Rempel

Be Our Guest
Another season of amazing talent and entertainment wraps up at Canada's largest outdoor theatre, Rainbow Stage. If you didn't get a chance to go this season, I highly recommend to save up and go for next year. It's a fun family outing and it's all Manitoba talent. Check out the Winnipeg Free Press Review.
