Grace Notes is Going in a New Direction!

Due to increasingly low enrollment numbers, Grace Notes is changing directions to better meet the needs of the homeschool community.  Instead of year-long classes, we will now offer fine arts focused field trips, workshops and camps throughout the year.  This means that homeschool families can fulfill their fine arts requirements without committing to a year long class.  Families will now be able to register for individual field trips and other events that fit their family's schedule and interests!  We will endeavor to offer at least once activity each month of the year, with mini-camps during the summer.

Being part of Grace Notes means that you will always be in the know about upcoming fine arts events in the Atlanta area and will be able to attend several at a discounted rate. Families will be able to register and pay for events online.  Each field trip will have a limited amount of spots available, so registering early is encouraged!

Families must sign-up for the Grace Notes blog.  Each time an event is announced, you will recieve an email with instructions on how to register.  We do ask that each person attending has a 2013 Grace Notes t-shirt to assist us in identifying members of our group.  Cost is $10.

More information about upcoming events will be posted soon.

If you have already registered for a class, your check will be returned to you by the end of next week.

We're in the home stretch!

We only have three more weeks of classes before the end of the year recital!  Please make sure that you are practicing every day!  We have the new registration form and class schedule for next year ready.  If you are planning to join us next year, please register early.  We must have at least 45 students in order to hold classes next year.  We will make this decision based on the number of students that have registered at the end of July, so don't wait!

Mr. Uderhardt and his wife have been invited to go on a mission trip to Spain during April to implement the curriculum that he has been working on for missionary children!  Please pray for a successful and safe trip.  Mr. Uderhardt will return in time for the recital.
