Yesterday, Mrs. Worman's 3rd grade and Mrs. Niemerg's 2nd grade students searched for rhythms around the music room. They copied the rhythms they found and then used them to compose an 8 measure melody. Great activity Mrs. Richardson!

They're off to state! Good luck boys!

We want to send a huge thank you to the Dieterich and Altamont communities for supporting our "Volley for a Cure" fundraiser to assist the Lankford and Kennedy families in their battles with cancer. We were able to raise a little over $2000 for each family. Thank you to the volleyball teams and everyone who donated, worked, and purchased items.
