How Can Parents Help:
Materials
Mrs. Schumacher is always looking for interesting instruments to add to
the classroom
collection. She has also made many drums from PVC
pipe of all sizes and is always
willing to make more if materials are
provided. Cow hide covers the top. She can also
make dried gourds
into great shakers.
Volunteering:
Mrs. Schumacher is always looking for parents to help with programs in
the areas of
scenery, decorations, costumes, speech, and drama.
Contact her as soon as possible in
the school year for advanced
planning of volunteer time in these areas.
