Happy last day of school! While this year has been tough with uncertainties and so many changes, it has been heartwarming to see the students who reached out and shared their music activity assignments with me. I would love to hear from you this summer and hope you all stay safe and healthy. I will miss all the fifth graders and wish you the best of luck in your future!

I am happy to be "back" and would love to hear from all my students. I have planned a music activity for this week which you can get to from the google classroom that I have set up for all my music classes, or you can get to it on the school website. You can also let me know if you have any trouble- I'm here to help! My goals for these last few weeks is to add a music activity that encourages family participation and also taps into your creativity! If you want more ideas, please feel free to reach out or check out the Kid Zone tab for some websites, videos, and resources.
Mrs. Moyer is expecting a baby girl! Due March 12th, 2020Mrs. Judy Barnes will be the music teacher while Mrs. Moyer is on maternity leave. Mrs. Barnes has over twenty years of music teaching experience, and she retired from the same position that Mrs. Moyer is currently in now. Mrs. Barnes will take over for teaching Glendale, Bolin, and Lincoln school music. She will also direct the Glendale chorus and Bolin chorus during this time. Mrs. Moyer currently plans to return for the last two weeks of the school year.
If you are a Bolin or Glendale choir student and are planning on attending the Rivermen game to sing the National Anthem, the forms and ticket money are due on this Friday, January 10th. This is an optional event. The game will take place at the Peoria Civic Center on Sunday, January 19th. The game starts at 3 pm, but choir students need to arrive at 2 pm. Call Mrs. Moyer if you have any questions!

Welcome back to another amazing school year! I am so excited to get to make music with the students of East Peoria District 86. This year I have received an instrument loan for the fall semester from the Illinois Music Education Association! This loan is for 13 Orff instruments (think xylophones with removable bars) and will provide students the invaluable opportunity to learn to play on these magnificent instruments. The hope for the future is to be able to fund the purchase of these instruments so that all students in District 86 have the opportunity to learn with these instruments.
It's been a great school year! Third grade has learned the cup song and game, fourth grade spent a lot of time learning how to play the recorder, and fifth grade learned how to play the musical spoons and about folk music and dances. Some ideas for the summer-
The Spring Concert was last night! Thanks so much to everyone who supports the music program- through supporting fundraisers, volunteering to chaperone, taking students to rehearsals before or after school, and attending the concerts. Thanks for an amazing year of singing in choir.
Next Thursday, May 9th the elementary choir and band students will rehearse for the concert and have a reward celebration from 9:00-1:00. That evening is the concert at the Central Junior High School gym. The concert starts at 6:30 pm, so please arrive by 6:20. If you have any questions, please let me know!
