Eagle Gazette Parent-Update

Our band scored a Superior for Stage Performance and a rating of Excellent overall at this year's Concert Performance Assessment. Way to go J-E-T musicians!

On March 10th, the Advanced Chorus classes had a guest clinician come in to have class with them. Gabriel Carter, producer and music programmer from Detroit, taught the students about the recording process. The students recorded a cover of Stevie Wonder's "As" and got to experience a live recording as well as see the beginnings of mixing and mastering a song. Gabriel produced Ms. Shoffner's single, "Never Be Defeated."

We celebrated Read Across America Week with several fun activites. A visit from the ABBE Library bookmobile allowed many students to tour the van and ask questions. We also celebrated reading with dress as a character or theme from a book day, participated in creative writing activites, identified character silhouttes from some of our favorite books, and even read to a few high school students.

Students raised funds to tour Washington, D. C. with Ms. Courtney. Their travels included but were not limited to the U.S. Capitol Building and Arlington National Cemetary. Learn more by following Johnston Edgefield Trenton Middle School on Facebook.
