A message for a parent to be shared with all families

Hello, fellow parents!  I'm really looking forward to this year's recital and hope you are too.  In addition to being a parent of two performers, I'm also a parishioner of the Church of the Resurrection, this year's venue.  I know we'll be there to listen to our children perform, but I want to respectfully ask you to remember that we won't be in "just another building."  Please be courteous of each other and the house, and be mindful of the events and masses for which it’s typically used.  The floor is sloped, similar to stadium seating, there's truly not a bad seat in the house. 


Thanks so much, I'm looking forward to hearing all the kids play on the 22nd!   Laura Bertekap
