6. Please be on the lookout for an email regarding our annual Broward 

County Music Teachers Association only fundraiser Musicthon, which will be held at the Galleria Mall on Friday evening,  January 21, 2022. This event is very special to me and beneficial to our studio as it funds student performance opportunities and enrichment, competitions, summer camp scholarships, Student Day, teacher enrichment, etc. We also partner with a worthy charity. This year's recipient is 4Kids of South Florida, Inc. We are so proud and happy to have our "Kids Playing for Kids in Crisis". I will be sending out the Sponsor Letter and the Pledge Sheet in plenty of time for you and your child to seek sponsors for this worthwhile event.

Have a wonderful harvest celebration and Thanksgiving!

Love,

Mrs. Purchase
