From The Principal
The second piece is full orchestra and is a fun and entertaining piece of music to listen to - but to also see the musicians experiencing such joy to perform.
Stay Healthy - and Wash Your Hands!

Mrs. McCure Update
I wanted to say hello and let you know I miss all of you! Some things to do while we are away from Collins are to remember to take care of yourself by getting enough sleep, drinking plenty of water, and eating a well balanced diet of fruit, vegetables, and protein. I know many of you are tempted to stay up all night binge watching television shows/movies, playing video games, and/or eating chips or sugary snacks. I know I have been, but after a few days of not being productive, I got kind of frustrated and sluggish, so I decided to stop that way of acting.
Try doing something different - take a walk, ride your bicycle, clean your room, organize your closet, learn to help with laundry, learn to cook, work in the yard, help with chores around the house, read a book, learn to play an instrument or practice one if you are in band and orchestra - the list is endless. I have seen lots of great social media posts where students from around the nation and world are doing things like this. Personally, I have been learning how to clean our pool and take care of it. This is huge for me to learn all of the mechanics! Also, I have washed all of our downstairs windows, and it is great to be able to see Spring blooming clearly. The weather is fantastic right now, so make sure to soak up some sun. I know I am! So far this week - I have logged 9 miles walking every day!! I am also learning how to play a new song on the piano! Maybe I will perform live at some point.
I can't wait to hear of all the great things you accomplish during this time along with the learning that is coming soon!
