In Case You Missed It...
Music to our Ears!
This week, 8th-grade Guitar and Piano students performed in a recital for their peers, teachers, and administrators. We had a great turnout and a respectful audience. The performers played beautifully! We are excited to share that there will be another recital at the end of the school year, and the students are very excited to demonstrate how much more they can grow as musicians and performers by the end of the year.
Art is Carving Out Some Amazing Pieces!
Students recently finished a screen printing project using the lino-cut method! The 8th-grade students were instructed to carve designs into rubber blocks, ink them, and then print multiple versions onto large pieces of paper.
