The month of March is National Music In Our Schools Month…also known as MIOSM! We have a lot of exciting events going on this month for our SDES students! Check out the following…
Atlanta Opera Performance: the Douglas County Cultural Arts Council is bringing OPERA to the students of SDES on Wednesday, March 5th at 9:00 a.m. They will be performing Mozart’s enchanting Fairy Tale, “The Magic Flute” in collaboration with the Center for Puppetry Arts. Special thanks to Mrs. Emily Lightner (mom of one of our 3rd graders) for assisting in getting this special event to our school to kickoff MIOSM!
MIOSM in the Music Classroom: all students are invited to share something “musical” during music class throughout the month of March for a special PRIZE! They can wear something “musical” to class (hat, shirt, socks, etc…), bring in a book related to music, create art related to music, write a song, story or poem, bring in an instrument from home (whether they can actually play it or not), perform a song for the class on an instrument or by singing. The sky's the limit!
Talent Showcase: we will end this special “musical” month by providing a formal opportunity for our students to share their unique musical talents. On Thursday evening March 27th at 6:00 p.m. we will have our annual “Talent Showcase”! Any student from 1st-5th grade may participate. Please fill out the information below and send it in to Ms. Natalie Murray if your child would like to participate in this year’s event. More information will be sent home with the students who return the form by March 7th. A video audition will be required by March 14th. Contact Ms. Murray at natalie.murray@dcssga.org if you have any questions.
