Spring Choral Concert – May 8

Come enjoy an evening of patriotic music performed by nearly 25 of our own TG teens.  The concert will be at Pittsford Community Church at 7:30 PM and is FREE.

The choral director, Mrs. Misty Irwin, said she “would love to have as many members of the military past or present come and enjoy the music the students have worked so hard to learn.”

Also, we welcome all TG families, their friends, neighbors, and the community!

Mrs. Judy Monro will provide piano accompaniment.

Refreshments following.

Make Fresh Tracks!

Sidetracked Seminars on Christian Living for Teens begin in February for Sr. High girls, then continue in April for Jr. High members, finishing in May for Sr. High boys.  Read the course description and register for this free, yet valuable, program.

Members in grades 7-10 can also make tracks at our Snowshoe Hike in February.  Email Mrs. Mancini to reserve a pair of snowshoes and be ready to “Adventure Out” at Powder Mills Park on the morning of Feb. 8 (or if there is insufficient snow, our second attempt will be Feb. 15).
