Join Mrs. Gauthier this week for a special challenge! A "Can't Stop the Longhorns" challenge!
As the school year comes to a close, music classes would normally be in the middle of grade level talent shows, recorder recitals, and preparing for end of year celebrations. Since we aren't able to share our talents with each other in person right now, I will be creating a special end of year video using student submissions from this week's "Can't Stop the Longhorns" challenge. I will share the final video montage in next week's newsletter so be sure to email your video submissions to Mrs. Gauthier no later than Thursday, May 14th.
Click on the links below for more information.
"Can't Stop the Longhorns" Challenge - video explaining the challenge and how to participate.
