IMPORTANT:  CHOIR ADOPT-A-FAMILY
After Thanksgiving Break choirs have been collecting each day for our annual choir adopt a family program.  Each choir is assigned a Shawnee Mission South family in need this holiday season.  The counseling center works to find these families and determine their "list."  Sadly this year there are 10 families who are homeless and even more in need.  We have agreed to do everything we can to see that each family in need at SMS gets something from our efforts.  At the holiday concert we will be collecting to help our SMS families.  Please share with anyone you may invite to the concert incase they would like to give.  (checks payable to SMS CHOIR)
