Orchestra and Band PerformancesOur orchestra students and our advanced orchestra students put on a fantastic performance. I really enjoyed it. The students did a great job and have really improved from December. Our band students also put on an enjoyable performance this week. They too have improved so much this year. | 5th Grade CampThe 5th grade students were able to go to Camp at Whispering Pines this year. They hiked, participated in educational sessions, enjoyed a campfire with Smores, stargazed and camped overnight on Mt. Lemmon last Thursday. Both students and parents had a great time. A huge thanks to our 5th grade teachers, and Community Schools Outdoors. What an amazing opportunity for our students. |
