2025-2026 Band & Chorus Program: Starting this fall, we’re excited to offer our students more opportunities to explore their musical talents! All students in grades 4 and 5 will participate in either chorus, band, or both, allowing them to follow their individual interests and grow as young musicians. All 3rd graders will take part in chorus, building a strong foundation in singing and performance. We’re looking forward to a fun and music-filled year!

Each month Superintendent Shannon includes a suggestion for purposeful play and developmentally appropriate risk. There is still time for the May challenge!

Keeping up with our Anxious Generation purposeful play and responsible risk taking challenges, I am inviting you to join in on our May activities. This month, our challenges are:

Purposeful Play Challenge

Let's get creative this month! May is here and so are the flowers and planting season. Plant a garden together. Build the plan, head to the store together to pick out what you're going to plant, get messy in the dirt as you dig, and then watch as what you did together grows. Celebrate your success. Bonus points if you plant a new fruit or vegetable that your child tries as a new food once it's planted!

Responsible Risk Taking Challenge

This month let your child plan a solo adventure within safe boundaries according to their age. Let your child walk to a neighbor’s house, deliver a letter to the mailbox by themselves, ride their bike to somewhere of their choice, or stay home alone. Independence builds confidence!
