Buzzing BEE Award
Theta congratulates MADELINE BAILEY, a new EC Educator at Snipes Academy!
On Tuesday, February 2, Theta member Nakita Thomas presented Madeline with a "Buzzing BEE" (Beginning Educator Excelling) Award and Gift Bag. This award, created by the NCDKG Beginning Teacher Support Committee, is presented to an Initially Licensed Teacher, in her first three years of teaching, who does something special! Nakita says that Madeline "…implemented research-based techniques that have enabled three of her 3rd grade students to grow in reading."
Madeline, please know that Theta appreciates and supports you.
In the picture below, Theta member Nakita Thomas presents Buzzing BEE Award to Madeline Bailey as Snipes Principal Rachel Manning looks on.
Opportunities for Music
Dear Sisters,
It is past time to come together and make music! I bet you have missed singing, playing, and listening to music as much as I have. There are a few opportunities for you to share music with your sisters at the NC DKG Convention coming up!
- Sing in the chorus! We will learn some songs for the convention. If you want to be in the chorus, I can send you an MP3 of your part ahead of time for you to get familiar with the music.
- If you are an instrumentalist and would like to play a piece, let me know. I want to schedule some special music. If you need an accompanist, either I can play for you, or perhaps another pianist in our group would like to volunteer to be an accompanist.
- There is a great version of the song, “Bridge Over Troubled Water” I plan to use that will be challenging for me to play as well as direct. So, would someone like to volunteer to direct this choral piece? I have the music.
That is about it! Easy and fun times ahead in music. Please send me an email to let me know how you would like to participate. Click my name below to send me a message. Be sure to put MUSIC in the subject line so I will know I need to read it! Thank you, and I look forward to hearing your wonderful voices.
