Dear Teachers,


PANDEMIC
The coronavirus guidelines
are  that events of ten people or less are acceptable,
but events of more than ten people, the event should be cancelled.

RECITAL
Last week I asked for a vote on whether to cancel the festival recital.  I got a tie vote. I think we need to cancel the festival recital. Because it is an event of more than ten people.  OK, so know that i"m cancelling the festival recital.

FESTIVAL
I think we can go ahead with the Romantic Festival, because it is an event of ten people or less.
