 Re: Update on Lord Byng Symphony

  As a result of the feedback/input from the parents on Monday, Feb. 8th, we (the school administration) are in the process of deliberating and re-considering options. Please recognize that this process will require some time. It is my objective to report out on February 24th, or early March at the latest. The dates will be confirmed once I have a chance to confirm with the programming staff.  

  

Thank you for your assistance in distributing this message.
