Dexter, Missouri - The Missouri Choral Directors Association sponsors Honors Choirs for their summer conference which is held in Jefferson City, Missouri.
Mrs. Jamie Sepulvado, Choral Director, for Dexter Public Schools submitted recordings of the students who wished to audition in March. They received the results on May 1, 2016. These 7th and 8th grade students competed against students from all over the state of Missouri.
They will now travel to Jefferson City on July 20, 2016 to sing with other students from around the state in the Honors Choir program.
Since their founding in 1959, the Missouri Choral Directors Association has made this even possible in part by relentlessly pursuing the first objective in their constitution: to encourage higher standards of choral singing and its performance. they are proud to sponsor several honor choirs which represent excellence in choral music from elementary age to adult. They will feature Missouri Youth Honor Choirs, All-State ShowChoir, and Vocal Jazz Ensembles, and the Church/Community Honor Choir.

In order for each student to attend the 200% 4th quarter AR party they must read certain books and take tests at a 85% accuracy to reach double their goal!!!! Now that is pretty amazing for these awesome students to go above and beyond.
This summer don't forget to keep your reading skills sharp in anticipation of the more advanced reading requirements in 5th grade!!
