On Aug. 1, our first day of class, please make sure that your child/children have their lyrics for the 3 Techung songs that we have learned. We need to practice them so that we can sing them (VERY WELL) at Tibet Fest. We will also be putting on our Fashion Show during Tibet Fest. So please start looking around in your closets and start putting together any beautiful Tibetan costumes you might have. If things need to be cleaned, adjusted, etc. now is the time to do it.
