Dear Families,
Let’s
give it up for our Funk to
Junk music and dance
performers!! Woo-hoo! J
News from Art Week 2016! Sure
hope you enjoyed the Junk to
Funk Performance last night. Thank you to so many for coming! It was a great - standing room only -
turn out. I hope that you have
heard a lot about the experience over the course of the week. Boy, it has been wonderful. Jeff, our Junk to Funk drumming and dance teacher is super hip and cool… while being
totally calm and respectful. All
students really respond well to his teaching style. He has
been patient and encouraging, informative and interesting as we learn new
rhythms, body and dance moves. And
believe us… it is harder than it looks! Be sure to get the scoop
from your kiddo this afternoon about how the school performance went. We think the Mitchell community will love it!
We
also had a special treat on Thursday
afternoon with a live performance from the spectacular Shapleigh Jazz Band.
They were fantastic! Lots
of different instruments, beats, melodies and rhythms. It is such fun for the teachers to see
former Mitchell School students playing for us. Who knows… maybe in a few years your child will be playing
for us too. Joining band in
fifth grade is a great experience and one that can continue through high school
years and beyond.
And of course, none of this could be
possible without our wonderful PTA who funds The Annual Mitchell School Arts Fair Week.
A big shout out to them and all they do to support our kiddos!
Just
some house keeping news: Our Spring
Conferences are quickly approaching.
Thank you for signing up on-line. Enjoy the weekend~
