What a fantastic start to the school year. All of the classes are brimming with talent and enthusiasm! The excitement is palpable and I am looking forward to an incredible year! There are some changes to the after school Music, Dance, and Theater Clubs for sixth, seventh, and eighth grade students. All of the clubs start next week!!! Read below for all of the details. Unfortunately, the activity bus will not be available until after Labor Day. If you do not have transportation home, don't worry - you can join the clubs after Labor Day. Have a marvelous weekend! - 🎶Mrs. Broeker

All the music classes are great! The Vocal Power class is packed with wonderful singers. Music 6 is busy exploring rhythm using percussion instruments,. The Digital Music Class has already begun composing. The Music Theater Workshop performed their first skit, an interpretation of a classic tale. The enthusiasm is palpable! I am so excited to see these classes every day!
