Hello Parents! We are very excited as we are preparing for our spring concert on May 1, 2025 at 1:30pm. We hope you all can join us! This will be a benefit concert for a special organization called “Playing for Change Foundation.” Check out their website and ask your children how this organization started and what it does!  https://playingforchange.org/about/ 

On Thursday, May 1, 2025 from 1:30 pm to 2:30 pm, our students will be sharing the music with the theme of “A SONG FOR EVERYONE,” based on a story about music coming from a window... and as people listened, it changed how people felt and acted.  

Mrs. Blenkhorne and our students have been working very hard on this! Last year, Mrs. Ryskamp did a Student Concert Attendance survey, and they indicated that only 50% of our students would be able to attend an evening concert. As this concert depends on students playing various parts and instruments for numerous musical pieces, we needed greater student attendance to make this concert a success.  
That all being said, Mrs. Bajwa and Mr. Rakowski are working to get all of our “Consent for Use of Student Information” forms signed, which most families did back in September. We will be following up with the parents of the students we do not have the forms for in the next week. This will allow Mr. Rakowski to record the concert and share the video out with parents who were not able to attend the in-person concert. 

Of course, parents and grandparents are more than welcome to attend in person that day, and the concert will take place in our gym!
