We’re closing out January and moving into February, where we’ll be celebrating Valentine’s Day, Black History Month and Presidents’ Day (no school on Feb. 21).
This month, our music students showcase their work during several band concerts at our schools; the Ivy Hall /Prairie Concert at Stevenson High School; and at the IGSMA solo/ensemble contest. All the best, students and teachers!

In Schools This Week
This week, Country Meadows students continued making beautiful art projects with Mrs. Grossman, while Mrs. Murray's students experimented with creating chords on their iPads that reflected a mood they were feeling.
Meanwhile, students in Mrs. Widmaier's Dual Language class work on their marketplace projects. Students are working hard to create goods and services to sell in our dual language marketplace, after studying goods, services, producers, and consumers in social studies, Ms. Widmaier shared.
