Music with Ms. King

January 26th a select group of 7th and 8th grade band students performed in Michigan School Band and Orchestra Solo and Ensemble (MSBOA) and did an outstanding job.  There were over 70 middle schools that had students attend this event.  Quest students signed up in October and selected pieces to prepare for the festival.  Students met with me during my lunch break and after school for guidance and practice tips on their piece.  At the event students played their piece in front of an adjudicator and were given a rating from 1 to 4. Students who received a division 1 or 2 rating were issued a metal.  Quest students did a fantastic job at our very first Solo and Ensemble Festival.  Every student medaled and 7 Division I ratings were issued along with 3 Division II ratings. 

The following students received a Division I

Jump Rope for Heart

Last year we were able to raise $3,000 for the American Heart Association by participating in Jump Rope for Heart.  This year we hope to raise even more funds to help save lives.  The heart celebration event will take place the week of February 25th-March1st and all students in grades k-5 have the opportunity to participate and raise funds.  The month of February is also Heart Month.  Money raised will help the American Heart Association support children with special hearts and provide funding for cardiovasular and heart disease research.  Donation envelopes will be going home in the next couple of weeks.  And to make raising donations even easier, an online account can be set up at www.heart.org/jump
