Night at the ball game post caption:
Your student received order forms last night to buy tickets to support the Union R-XI Elementary Choirs when they sing at the Cardinals game in May. ANYONE and EVERYONE is invited to attend the game, though only the students enrolled in the choir will be performing. This is a major fundraiser for our music program that benefits each and every student as funds go to purchasing supplies for all music students. Money and order forms must be submitted by April 25th. Please reach out to Mrs. Smith if you need another order form @ ashley.smith.music@unionrxi.org. Let's fill those stands in support of our students and school!
