Horton Harmony has had a BUSY week! They started on Monday with the NEK League Music Festival at Oskaloosa where they were able to perform and work with judges in preparation for our upcoming festivals. They then worked their tails off with this new advice for 3 days of rehearsals. On Friday, they had the honor of performing in our community for a local group. Many students participated in the Talent Show that evening as well. We capped our week off this Saturday by being selected to perform The National Anthem at the 2A State Basketball Championship located at Kansas State University's Bramlage Coliseum!
Their director, Ms. Victoria McManus, is incredibly proud of these students and the phenomenal work they have put into preparing for these performances. She loves and appreciates each and every one of these kids and is extremely excited to see how much further we will grow!
It's Spring Break, Chargers! Have a great break -- stay safe and we will see you in a week!
Congratulations, Chargers!
Former USD 430 teacher, Wanda Stoltenberg, visited the 6th graders today. She shared videos, pictures, and artifacts from her recent trip to Morocco. The students enjoyed learning about Moroccan culture and trying some traditional foods--couscous and mint tea. Thank you, Wanda!
We had a large group of 5th and 6th grade students qualify for the HONOR party! Great job!
