Note from the Music Room:
It's the students' favorite time of the year in music! Time to start voting for our Musician of the Year 2022-2023! They have loved getting to know all of our "Musicians that Matter" this school year and ask daily who is moving onto the next round. Ask your kids who they voted for and stay tuned for updates!
