We’ve secured a generous grant through HP Arts to bring in Don Shannon, a professional piper, to bring us to the next level. Mr. Shannon will teach every Wednesday, alternating between HPMS and HPHS. Thank you to HP Arts, Daren Jordan, Monika Jordan, Blythe Koch, Natalie Koch, and Don Shannon for helping to provide our students with this wonderful opportunity!

HPMS art students have been busy at the beginning of the year! HPMS 8th-grade Advanced Ceramics students started the year by throwing on the potter's wheel and making a set of four matching trinket dishes. HPMS 8th-grade advanced art students are making their sketchbooks for this year. And HPMS 7th-grade art students created OP Art 3D cubes using patterns & shapes to create illusions.

Summer Band was amazing! It was so fun and we did so much learning! We also ate some sweet treats!

We are off to a great start in art this year! After reading “Beautiful Oops” and “The Dot” we have been creating art that helps us to work past mistakes and spark our creativity!

Fourth grade students performed ostinato patterns on xylophones/metallophones, cymbals/finger cymbals, triangles, temple blocks, drums, and rhythm sticks to our rules of the music class!

UP musicians are starting off the year with creative movement and instrument exploration.
