Primary Music Festival -- Date Error!

The newsletter dated May 1st that went home on Friday regarding the Primary Music Festival stated the Trip Date as being May 14th -- the trip will actually take place on Wednesday, May 13th.  Another permission form to that effect will be sent home with students on Tuesday (don't bother sending in the other form with the wrong date). Our apologies for any inconvenience this error has caused parents. Thank you!
