Grading and the PTO Auction

Good Morning!
This week we are in the middle of assessments for the next report cards. Amazingly, that time is quickly approaching. Students will be marked on "playing instruments." This will be either keeping a steady beat or maintaining a pattern, depending on the grade level. Students have been playing our new paddle drums for this portion of the assessment. We are also starting to learn some of the music for this year's World's Largest Concert. The WLC has been renamed this year. It's now "Concert for Music in our Schools Month." This year Vowles own fourth graders will appear on the broadcast. They will be featured during the singing of the National Anthem. Watch for the concert in your own home on the Mt. Pleasant Schools' cable channel during the month of March.
Don't forget the PTO silent auction on Feb. 9! There are many exciting items up for bid. I'm looking forward to having lunch with 4 Vowles students. They will be able to bring their lunches to the music room. I'll bring some brownies and we'll enjoy a nice visit.
