Firearms Safety Program
Today, our students participated in a mandated firearms safety program. This presentation provided important age-appropriate information focused on safety and making smart choices.
We are grateful for the opportunity to educate our students on ways to stay safe and to reinforce the importance of responsibility and awareness.
Today, Mr. Zach, our amazing band director, visited several classrooms to demonstrate a variety of band instruments and share what it’s like to be part of our band program. Students had a great time learning about the different sounds each instrument can make and asking questions!
We love seeing our students get excited about music, and we hope this encourages many of them to consider joining band next year.
