Our Christmas Concert was themed a sweet holiday and we heard songs of christmas cookies, dances about gingerbreadmen, movement about chocolate, and instruments about sugar plum fairies.  Our Eagles showed up and gave their best effort, despite the freezing temperatures that kept most kids out to the building for the 2 weeks prior to performance.  Well done!

Our Preparations for Shrek The Musical are underway.  Dancers are working hard, actors have been memorizing lines, Primary classes have been singing their songs, tech and back stage helpers are learning their roles.  It's going to be a good one! Showtime is Feb 25th, 1&6pm

During the month of September, students have been introduced to a number of songs, some of which include playing the xylophones for accompaniment.  

Grade 6 & 7s have been learning Thump, a 4 part introductory marimba piece.  

Grade 4 & 4 have been learning Simon, a catchy, upbeat marimba song.

Grade 2 & 3 have been dancing up a storm, with Alabama Gal, Sasha, and Tideo.  They have learned to accompany Tideo with Xylophones and are working to play it in parts.  

​

Stencil making in grade 6-7 is a difficult challenge for students.  They careful carve out shapes and dye fabrics to leave behind negative and positive spaces in their art. 

Students and staff alike, helped to make our Circle of Courage in the bus loop! Stay tuned over the year to see updates and more improvements to our Circle of Courage!
