Welcome back!

Welcome back everyone! I am so excited to start the new school year! I had a great summer with my family. We traveled a bit and we watched and played lots of soccer. The World Cup added great fun to my family's summer! When I wasn't outside, I spent time practicing french horn, visiting with Ms. Kennedy and her sweet baby, Ruby Rose,  and reading as much as I could. I hope you had a great summer too!

Congratulations Ethan!

Ethan Duncan  was one of eighty Vermont students to submit an  original musical composition to Music-Comp (Music Composition Online Mentoring Program) this year. Ethan's masterpiece was  one of 25 student compositions  performed in concert with professional musicians on Wednesday, April 30, 2014 at the Ludlow Town Hall Auditorium in Ludlow, Vermont. Congratulations to Ethan!
