PARENTS are REMINDED of the opportunity to attend a very special concert
by the ROSE ORCHESTRA entitled"GYPSY VIOLIN"
We are hoping to have a large group of our MATT families there for this one!
Make sure you let Claudia know how many tickets you need-at our LOW LOW rates!
Adult:$20, 4 children inclusive for $10.00  Don't delay!

PARENT REQUEST-to help our program!!
Andrea Currie and the MATT Board are currently seeking additional funding from businesses and service groups in our Brampton neighbourhood.
In order to show community support for the Music at the Towers program, we would appreciate a written paragraph by parents, explaining why you value the program for your child and/or for the community. We will include some of these with our submission requests.

 These need not be fancy or long, but would simply state that your child is participating (for so many months or years) and include your views how it contributes to your child's education, self-esteem, social skills, self discipline etc.
Please date and sign your comments and hand them in within a week if possible.
