Beekeeping for a Cause
The Beekeeping Club donated profits from honey sales, a total of $2,700, to Project C.U.R.E. The funds were earmarked to be used to support their efforts for combatting the COVID-19 crisis in the USA.
Words & Music
Grade 4 students participate in Words and Music, a songwriting program from the Country Music Hall of Fame and Museum. In the fall, students write an original song and then a songwriter selects several to set to music. Students experience this live performance during a museum tour and songwriter session. Every spring, the CMHOF mines the thousands of student songs from across the nation and selects a dozen or so to represent the program in a showcase concert. Hank Rusie (4-Prentice) was selected this year for his piece, “Bengals Blues.”
