Third and Fourth grade Emile students painted their artwork while listening to Le Création de Monde by Darius Milhaud.

So what does a music teacher do when school is closed due to Covid 19. This one repairs glockenspiels. I replaced all the pins on two of the alto glockenspiels as well as cleaned them. The ring of the bars is a bit better. Better yet the bars don't fall off as easily.

Emile Elementary, through nine generous sponsors, donated 41 wreaths to Wreaths Across America that were laid on veteran's graves on Saturday, December 14. At Fort Sam National Cemetery, I had the honor of laying four grave specific wreaths that were ordered. It was an honor and a privilege placing the wreaths and carrying on Wreath Across America's tradition of remember, honor and teach.
It's never to early to sponsor a wreath for December 2020.
