Today was the first day of 5th Grade instruments! Here are links to remind students how to put their instruments together, take care of them, clean them, and put them away. All 5th grade students should watch their instrument's link AT LEAST 4 times this week.
I really love seeing the joy in the kids and the family atmosphere we feel when you walk onto this school campus. The way everyone is willing to go out of their way to help each other and the students.
I love the fact that we have multiple generations of community members as part of our school family; staff, students, volunteers, and all other members of the community that make it such an amazing school!
