My Students

My elementary music students are talented, excited, and motivated by the arts! They love music, art, and drama, and are particularly excited by the new music room and art room at our school. We have a huge student body with approximately twelve hundred kids. I teach students in pre-kindergarten through grade five, general education students, language learners, and many special education students. Families at our school come from many countries, including Bangladesh, Dominican Republic, Ghana, Mexico, China, India, and more. Each individual student has something special to offer as far as culture and background. It is pretty amazing!

My Project

Our school musical, Aladdin, Kids, is all set to take the stage at the beginning of June. Our 5th graders have been studying and rehearsing for months and SADLY, within the last few weeks, we have lost 2 of our working spotlights (plus the 2 that were already OUT)! This makes a HUGE difference in what the audience is able to see and NOT see during the show. Frankly, I am getting really nervous and do not want to pass that nervousness onto the students. Our teacher team is scrambling to try to fix the situation and I think this could be the best solution! The standing work lights I have requested for this project will be PERFECT to illuminate our budding actors and actresses as they act, sing, and dance.
