CYM has plenty of events planned over the next few months. And if you are a student at CYM, make sure you subscribe to the weekly Take Note newsletter for even more information.

This month, CYM has two events that are so good, they’re scary!

First, Mr. Mark is holding a second outdoor Guitar Play-In at CYM Wexford (in the backyard) this Saturday at 12:00 p.m. Students will be able to present their polished piece to their peers and guests while enjoying the lovely weather. Families, and friends are encouraged to RSVP along with their student by clicking here to send an email to the administrators and to Mr. Mark. We encourage anyone who is available to come, but do ask that all guests follow current social distancing guidelines.

Get your costume ready, as Mr. Mark will hold a Halloween Serenade on Saturday, October 31st at noon! Students are encouraged to join Mr. Mark in their Halloween costume to present a piece to their friends, families, and peers.

Lastly, help kick off the winter season with Ms. Simmi’s Holiday Serenade on Saturday, December 12th at 3:00 pm. Be ready to perform and welcome winter and the holiday season.
