ART

Mrs Rodas in the Art room is in need of Wet Ones wipes (not Lysol wipes). If you would be willing to donate any packages of Wet Wipes for the tables on clay, painting, and printmaking days, it would be greatly appreciated!

MUSIC

Congratulations to the participants of the 2026 6th Grade All-County Chorus. These students will be learning ten very difficult songs over the next few months. Their concert is in April with over 800 other students from around FCPS. We are so proud of you!

Emily Santamaria, Eve Neumann, Reese Dolce, Hannah Schiffner and V Pierce.

 

All general music classes are learning about Marvelous Melodies. Melodies are a series of high and low tones that make music when put together. There are so many well-known songs and melodies we hear during the month of December. What’s your favorite?
