Chorus |
Students
in the hand-bell ensemble meet every
Tuesday to make music. They prepare
for various shows that take place
in the school and throughout the
community. The instrument they use
is a triangular shaped bell plate
with a striker attached. Students
learn to read music and follow the
cues of a director, skills needed
to become successful musicians.

to help the environment. Some
activities that we have participated
in is advertising for recycling,
creating a container to recycle
ink cartridges and cell phones.
We have adopted new trees and
are taking care of them! We have
also helped the PTA in several
of their fundraising efforts.
Finally, we were responsible for
raising over $5,000 dollars for
United Way to help our community!
