EL Sing Fest - Date Change!

9/14/2016

 
Picture
Due to a scheduling conflict, Elementary Sing Fest (combined east and west this year) has been rescheduled to Friday, March 17, 2017 at Pittsburgh Public Schools. It was originally scheduled for May 19.  After looking at the PMEA calendar and PSSA calendar, this seems to be the date that has the least impact on prospective participants.  Please update your calendars and look for festival information in the near future.  Pass along this information to elementary directors in your district who may participate in this fest.
