Centerburg Music Department

We are so excited for 2017 and the upcoming Disney Trip!  We want to put out a final call for those who may want to sign up as chaperones. We could still use some, and there have been several parents who have spoken to us about it, but never signed up. If you are interested in being a chaperone, please let us know by the end of December. You can contact Mrs. Culbertson by email stasi.culbertson@centerburgschools.org. We need to have it all finalized so that we can make the last preparations.  Merry Christmas and we'll see you in the New Year! When we come back we will only have 63 days of school until the trip!
