3rd grade got to meet their Pen Pals! They've been writing each other throughout the year, and now got a visit from them. They were able to participate in some fun activities to "break the ice" and get to know each other better. After the activities, they got to play outside together! It was a great morning!

The ILMEA District 2 Elementary General Music Festival took place on Saturday at Sherrard JR/SR High School. General music students from our state music district got to experience Ukulele, World Drumming, and two collaborative creative composition. Some of our beginning band and choir students attended a rehearsal with students from different schools for most of the day. All the students participated in a concert to end the day. It was a wonderful day of music making and our students enjoyed themselves!
