Mr. Young arranged for the Junior Symphony Guild to come to Paris and perform through the JSG Inside the Orchestra school program. the JSG put kids literally "inside the orchestra" as they are surrounded on the stage by our adult professional orchestra. The audience hears well-known repertoire from "Looney Tunes" to Beethoven. The students really enjoyed learning about the different instruments and hearing the different songs performed from the tune from the Simpsons, Figaro, and others. For more information about the programs the Junior Symphony Guild offers visit their website http://insidetheorchestra.com/
Let’s kick off this academic year right! Our school will be joining schools across the nation in celebrating Back to Football Friday.
On Friday, September 9, in cities and towns nationwide, passion for the NFL will be on full display as schools show their NFL team pride for a chance to win exciting prizes. Everyone will be getting ready for the first weekend of NFL games and celebrating the return of football.
In our school we will be celebrating Back to Football Friday by having students and their families wear the jersey or t-shirt of their favorite NFL team. We also will have football-themed lessons throughout the week in PE.
We ask that any Football Friday pictures you take with your child or family be emailed to me at cjcain@aps.k12.co.us so they can be uploaded with our contest entry.
The 34 schools across the nation that show the most NFL team pride and demonstrate a commitment to health and wellness in their school will be selected as NFL PLAY 60 Super Schools and receive a visit from a real NFL player and a $10,000 NFL PLAY 60 health and wellness grant.
This is an exciting opportunity for our school to use our creativity and rally around the excitement of the NFL. If you are interested in learning more about Back to Football Friday and how you can get involved, please visit NFL.com/backtofootball.
Thank you for helping our school participate and for your assistance in making this program possible.
