These are the be-but be-but men- nefits of having one weekly practice at their own school and with their own peers. The costumes had a nominal fee of approximately $5, but this was a one time cost and the monthly charges are free to any child enrolled at Jennie P. Stewart, grades kindergarten through sixth grade. This takes volunteer service from the PTA and such is the case at Jennie P. Steward. Five ladies who have given much time and effort to the glee club are its conductors. They are Camille Nielson, Chris Shaw and Kris Green, and two accompanists Sharon Smith and Liz Welsh. WITH ONLY one registration registra-tion day in the fall of 1981, 174 children signed up to be members mem-bers (with parents consent). The group has decreased somewhat to a mere 129. The club has two special programs during the year: one at Christmas Christ-mas time and one in the spring. Besides these, the club sings at school assemblies and other special occasions as dictated by the PTA and school principal. prin-cipal. Because of fantastic support by parents, discipline problems prob-lems have been held to a mini- mufn and the children learn to sing correctly and work as a group with other children. The Jennie P. Stewart Glee Club has been and hopefully will continue to be a real asset to the school. |
