Happy Music In Our Schools Month! This year's theme is: All Music, All People. Every single person has music inside of them and part of the joy of having music in our schools is the opportunity to make music together. Everyone should have access to a music education! Show support for the music program by visiting the NAfME website.
Fourth grade will need to have their own recorder starting the first full week of February. If you would like to order one through the school, turn in the form and $ by Tuesday, January 22nd. Students will learn to read music, play the recorder using correct embouchure and articulation, compose music for recorder, and many other important skills. This unit will last until the beginning of May. Students are expected to bring their recorder to every music class.
The Bolin and Glendale choir students are singing at the Rivermen hockey game on Saturday, January 19. (This is an optional event.) Please pick up tickets at your school office this week. There will be a note sent home soon about specific details for this weekend. Contact Mrs. Moyer or the office if you have any questions.
Happy December! The holiday concerts are quickly approaching. Please look for information about these concerts in the newsletters and notes home. The dates for this year's programs are:
Bolin: Tuesday, Dec. 11 Lincoln: Thursday, Dec. 13 Glendale: Monday, Dec. 17 All programs begin at 6:45 pm in the East Peoria Community High School auditorium.

The first chorus rehearsal for Glendale was scheduled for today (Sept. 4) but it has been postponed due to the heat schedule today. No after school activities will take place. Please plan on the first choir rehearsal for NEXT Tuesday, September 11. Glendale parents must pick up students at 4 pm at playground doors.
For Bolin choir, it will begin Thursday, September 6 at 8:00 am in the music room. Please arrive a few minutes early so students have time to drop their stuff off in the classrooms. Welcome back to school! I'm excited to start my second year teaching in East Peoria. The theme in my classroom is pineapples. "Stand tall, be proud, and sing out!" is the motto for the music room. We are going to celebrate every student and be proud of the music making that we do throughout the year. Come see me at the Meet the Teacher open houses this week and introduce yourself :) Image courtesy of: Dorky Doodles
What a wonderful school year at District 86! I am so grateful to be a part of this community. I look forward to seeing you again in August. Don't forget to spend time listening to and creating music this summer.
Last week the choirs sang for the Spring Arts Celebration. Due to the cold and windy weather, we moved the location to Fondulac Library foyer. Thank you to everyone who came to watch the concert and give your support! Our final concert is Thursday, May 3rd at 6:30 pm at CJHS. Hope to see you there!
Thanks to everyone who stopped by the music room for Glendale's Open House night. Students had the opportunity to write about how music inspires them, and give listening recommendations of songs that they really enjoy.
