This weekend, some of our BV Walnut students had the opportunity to participate in the ILMEA District 2 Elementary General Music Festival held at United Junior Senior High School in Monmouth, IL! Our 3rd- and 4th-grade students attended sessions featuring drumming, creative music, music lab/Orff, ukuleles, and recorders. The general music sessions brought together students from 11 schools, totaling 133. Our beginning band students participated in the festival honor band and performed with 162 students from 17 schools. All students finished the festival with a performance showcasing their work for the day! We are so proud of our students and their representation of the BV Music Department!

Disgusting! Or is it? 4th grade has been working on disgusting foods paper. Each student had to choose a food commonly considered to be disgusting, then write a paper convincing readers to try it! Mrs. Henegar's class wrapped up the project with a disgusting foods tasting. They were very adventurous eaters with 7 out of 10 students finding a new food that they enjoy!
