Music Instruction coming to Stout!

We are very excited to announce that Stout students will have the opportunity to receive instrumental and vocal music instruction during the school day as an elective class!

On Tuesday in A/A, your student will receive a purple flyer with information.  This elective class would be taught by Mr. Walters and would run on an alternate schedule with your student’s gym elective.  Many of our students who came to us from Snow are familiar with Mr. Walters and the quality of music instruction he offers.

If your student is interested in adding this elective to his/her 2nd semester schedule, it is IMPERATIVE that the flyer be completed and returned to class BEFORE 12/13/13 so that schedules can be adjusted.

If you have any questions, please contact the Stout office at 313-827-4600.
