My Project

Near the end of the school year, during and after testing, students will need activities that get their blood and circulation moving. We will hold classes in the fresh air and include a lot of movement. We will have tournaments and to play you must play! In other words, play your instrument for a chance to play a game.

Keep your body moving!

Make music while doing it!

Tennis is an excellent sport for our students. We have tennis and pickleball courts that students will use. It is good because it has health, fitness strength and agility benefits. It also has social and psychological benefits. It can also help students work on focus, critical thinking and decision-making skills. The activities we have planned will surely help our students during testing.
