Brrr...


Walked into the Music Room this morning to discover that
the heat had shut off overnight and it was FREEZING!!!


Thankfully, our awesome custodian John Dacey came to the
rescue and was able to fix it before our first music class!

A Day At The Zoo


The Jefferson staff enjoyed presenting a Reading Assembly this morning
that was based (loosely) on the classic story, "Good Night, Gorilla!"


Hope everyone has a great Wednesday today!

Beethoven!

Students were asking me about the painting of Beethoven 
on the Jefferson Music Room's wall recently. This led to
showing them a video of the Hero Artist, Rob Surette,
who created the painting for the school a while back:



This, in turn, inspired a few kindergarten students to go
and create some "Beethoven" paintings of their own:





Here is the painting in the Music Room that started it all:



Have A Rockin' Friday!
