Get Well Ms. Stevens
Simpson Orchestra Director Ms. Anne Stevens had a rather large benign tumor removed last week, and the good news is that she will be just fine! All of us in the Lassiter Orchestra Family wish Ms. Stevens a speedy recovery. Ms. Stevens would love to receive get-well wishes; you may give them to Ms. Doemel and she will ensure they are delivered.

New York, NY
Less Than 2 Weeks to Away!
Mandatory Student Rehearsal and Trip Meeting
STUDENTS: Please adjust your schedules and make plans to attend this mandatory New York trip rehearsal and meeting, Monday March 7, 4:00 – 6:15. We will rehearse our program, and then following rehearsal we will go over the “rules of the road” – attendance will be taken so, BE THERE!
Check Your New York Trip Status
At this point, all students travelling to New York should have registered on-line with World Strides. Students should also have submitted all required forms disseminated at the trip meetings, which are also available on our website.
We need for each student to log-in to the CHARMS system to see that we have received all the required forms. Once you’ve logged into CHARMS, there will be an icon named “Forms Collected”, and you need to ensure its all there:
- Notarized Medical Forms
- Medical Insurance Cards (copies)
- Overnight Trip Permission Forms
- Student Administered Medical Forms
For detailed information on Charms instructions, guess what…we have a Charms Information Webpage, check it out!
Questions? Please e-mail Sharon Saxton, your LHSOA Co-Secretary.
