This year's celebration will focus on spreading a positive message, highlighting themes of kindness, leadership, and using our voices for good. Students will also honor and reflect on the impact of Black history through music and message, showcasing both their musical growth and their understanding of how music can inspire change.

Our 4th graders have been working incredibly hard on singing, instrument playing, rhythm work, and ensemble skills. More importantly, they are learning how music can help us build community and lift one another up. Students can find practice videos with this link HERE
