Catch up with the school year

WOW! Where has all the time gone? We have been so busy that the school year has just flown by.  Well, here we are a few days right before Thanksgiving.  We have already had a bunch of marching performances, our fall concert in October, several students participating in the IMEA District Concert Festival at Macomb, and, of course, the Spooky Parade.  Now, we are getting ready for the Christmas concerts:  Grade School on December 8th and Junior High program with GS Band and Chorus on December 15th.  The Grade school program will begin at 7:00 p.m. at the Junior High gymnasium.  The Junior High program (on the 15th ) will begin at 7:00 p.m. and will be held at the West Theatre at the Nauvoo Historic Visitors Center.   Then, poof, the first semester is all over.

Of course our drama class has been learning all about pantomime and the students are getting really good.  So good in fact that we are planning a full length musical play for them to perform in the Spring.  Look for more on that later.

The guitar class at the Junior High is strumming right along.  The students can play around 20 chords.  They are also working on trios.  Wow!  The guys and gals are getting to be pretty good. 

We really appreciate all of the help and support our parents and families have provided so far this year.  We just couldn't do all the stuff that we do without your invaluable help. Thanks. Thanks. Thanks.

Well, everyone have a safe and joyful Thanksgiving.  After the break, we'll update again with a whole bunch of pictures.  As always, if you have any questions, give Mrs. Wilson or Mr. Dowell a call.
