Our 5th graders had an unforgettable experience at Link Up, a one-of-a-kind interactive event hosted by our local symphony orchestra! 🎻🎺🥁
This amazing program, created by Carnegie Hall’s Weill Music Institute, gives students the chance to not just listen to a professional orchestra—but perform with them! 🎼👏 Leading up to the event, students learned songs, dances, and even how to play along on instruments like recorders. Then, at the concert, they got to join in live as the orchestra played!
From clapping and singing to playing and moving with the music, our students were fully immersed in the magic of symphonic sound. 🌟🎶 What an incredible way to experience music in action!

Last week Mrs. Hall shared with us,
"One of my favorite memories from school was learning about oobleck and reading Bartholomew and the Oobleck by Dr. Seuss! So of course I had to make that a core memory for my class!"
Mrs. Hall's 1st grade class made predictions and noted their observations after their science experiment with oobleck! They got a little messy but it was worth it.

Mrs. Burnshire, you are so important to us, the calm in the storm, and the unwavering support our students and staff. Your dedication goes far beyond just a job – it's a genuine passion for helping every child thrive.
