On Monday, May 5th, the Poirier Choir will be featured in our school’s morning assembly in celebration of Music Monday. We will be performing a joint number with the John Muir choir directed by Mme Stewart. The entire school, along with millions of participants across the country, will JOIN IN at 9:50 am Pacific time, with a live webcast from Ontario featuring astronaut Chris Hadfield, for the singing of ISS – the official 10th Anniversary Music Monday song.
In the afternoon, the Poirier Choir will be taking a special trip into the village centre of Sooke to celebrate Music Monday, a Canada-wide initiative which aims to raise awareness of the importance of Music in our schools and in our lives. We will be sharing our singing with anyone and everyone who takes the time to listen as we “Fill the Skies with Music” at several locations. We will walk to Evergreen Centre after lunch at approximately 12:30 pm, and will be picked up by school bus at 2:15 for a ride back to Poirier. We will be singing this year with students from all four Sooke elementary schools!
We require parent helpers for this event. If you are available to assist, please let us know by indicating on the permission form being sent home with choir members this week. Parents are able to join us on the bus back to school. Please return all permission to Mrs. Arts or Mme Robertson by Friday, May 2nd.
ALL choir students who are participating must be prepared on Monday May 5th with appropriate clothing and footwear for the walk into Sooke, and for the possibility of rain. If the weather is too wet, we may be forced to cancel the outing.
This is the 10th Anniversary of Music Monday. We’ll be singing our school song, JOIN IN, Rhythm of the Rain, and “ISS – Is Somebody Singing” – the song co-written by Canadian astronaut Chris Hadfield and Ed Robertson. The students are very excited to be a part of this event! For more information, and to see Poirier on the map, visit:
