This Week in Music

The special area schedule is adjusted for the next two weeks due to PASS testing for the 3rd-5th grade students. Special areas will only meet with two classes in the afternoon each day of testing, because we help to monitor and administer the tests. I will not meet some classes for a couple of weeks, but I will see others a time or two. Therefore, each class will be working on different lessons based on how often I see them.
Remember that next Thursday, May 20 from 5:30-7:30 will be our Night of the Arts.
