Hello, Ben Franklin 4th – 8th Grade Families!
Hope you’re all doing well and your school year is off to a good start!
 
I wanted to let you know your children have the opportunity to participate in Band and Orchestra classes this year as an extra-curricular activity through our Douglas County Youth Orchestra program, TREIM.  
So good for them to learn an instrument, and while it takes some effort, it can be a lot of fun too.

So much information available on our website: www.treim.org
 
Also, note we will be having a Meet the Teacher/Rent an Instrument Event on Tuesday, Sept. 3, from 5:15 – 7:00 p.m., at Ranch View Middle School!  
 
 
The Meet the Teacher/Rent and Instrument Event is a good opportunity to ask questions and rent an instrument, if you’re ready, right at your school.  We’re trying to make it easier for busy parents by doing this.
🙂
 
Can’t attend the Event or decide later you’re interested?  No worries, our website has teacher emails so you can ask questions, and links for renting an instrument online.
 
 
Useful to know:  We do have some Scholarship funds available and there is an application on the website.  
 
Thank you! 
 
Hope it’s a good year for your children!
 
 
Sincerely,
Debbie Davidson-Stanfill
