Well folks, the results are in—and it’s no joke (even if today is April 1st)! 😄🎶 In the epic Championship Battle of the Bands, Journey said “thanks, but no thanks” to Whitney’s dance invitation and absolutely rocked their way to victory with Don’t Stop Believin’! 🏆🎸 👏 Huge congratulations to our perfect bracket champions: Kameron Wetsch, Cooper Parsons, Aubree Bolster, and Charlie Shields – the true music masterminds of March! 🙌 As we wrap up Music in Our Schools Month, we want to give a massive shoutout to all the staff and students who sang along, voted like champs, guessed those tricky Teacher Tunes, and most importantly—tolerated all the musical madness this past month! 😂🎧 And let’s not forget our amazing community members who voted every single day—you’re the real MVPs of the bracket board! 🫶 Thanks for joining the fun, and remember—don’t stop believin’… or dancin’… or singing in the hallways. 🎤💃

Our Elementary students were treated to a unique and amazing musical experience Wednesday afternoon. Verlan Jesse came and played the saw for everyone to enjoy! If you have never heard him play, it is truly a beautiful and magical experience. The kids were in awe of the beautiful sounds an ordinary saw can produce. Verlan also took the time to allow students to try and play the saw, and we are very appreciative that he came and shared his talent and time with us!

Wednesday afternoon, our students were treated to a truly unique musical experience thanks to Verlan Jesse and his incredible saw-playing presentation! His performance did not disappoint—students were captivated by the beautiful, unexpected sounds, and some even got the chance to try it out for themselves. We even got Mr. Phillips to give it a try! A huge thank you to Verlan for sharing his amazing talent and giving us an afternoon full of curiosity, creativity, and fun.

🎙️MARCH MUSIC MADNESS MISFIRE🎙️ Well folks, we’ve got a rare twist in the tournament today! No winner to report from yesterday—turns out Mrs. Anderson jumped the gun and sent Whitney Houston dancing her way into the next round… without ever facing off against The Beatles! 😱⏪ So we're calling a rematch-that-never-was, and TODAY it’s going down for real! 💥 🎤 I Wanna Dance with Somebody by Whitney Houston is finally facing off with ☀️ Here Comes the Sun by The Beatles! Two powerhouse tracks, one last shot at the Final Four—who will claim the final spot?

From here on out, you’ll need to guess ALL teachers correctly to score a prize in these final days! 🧠🎵 Yesterday’s challenge was no joke—but SIX musical masterminds cracked the code! 🎉 🌈 Ms. Shows' heartfelt pick: Over the Rainbow by Israel Kamakawiwo'ole, a tribute to her grandpa. 🤠 Mrs. Anderson’s first musical memory? Rodeo by Garth Brooks. Shoutout to our trivia champs: Brennan Lacy, Macey Anderson, Jacki Wetsch, Ajay Legg, Sierra Brown, and Harper Anderson! 🏆🎉 Swing by and see Mrs. Anderson for your well-earned prize! Stay sharp, stay tuned, and keep those guesses—and votes—coming!

March Music Madness Mayhem! It has been the Monday-est Tuesday there ever was and Mrs. Anderson got a little ahead of herself with today's match-up, moving Whitney on to the next round without actually battling it out with the Beatles. So, today's votes will not count and we will do the correct match-up tomorrow with a twist on a double header to take place on Thursday.

Today our Kindergarten and 1st grade students got to work with clay!

🎙️MARCH MUSIC MADNESS UPDATE – JOURNEY ROLLS ON! 🎙️ Journey wasn't messing around, folks! 💥 Don’t Stop Believin’ came out swinging and absolutely crushed Aretha Franklin’s Respect to punch its ticket to the Final Four! 🚂🔥 Now the stage is set for another high-stakes showdown! 🎤 I Wanna Dance with Somebody by Whitney Houston brings the energy, the vocals, and the sparkle to today’s battle—but standing in her way is the modern hit The Middle by Maren Morris & Zedd, fresh off an upset over Imagine! ⚡️🎶 Who’s dancing their way into the Final Four? Who’s getting left in the middle? It’s up to YOU—get those votes in now! 🗳️🏆 The Final Four is almost locked in, and the battles are only getting hotter! 🔥🎵 Yesterday’s Teacher Tunes Trivia had most of us scratching our heads—but not the 4th grade! 👏💥 Miss Camille tried to throw us off, but that entire class saw right through it and correctly guessed her pick was Flyleaf by Flyleaf! Rock on, 4th grade! 🤘🎶 Meanwhile, Mr. Schindler took us on a little trip down memory lane—his awkward teenage years were soundtracked by the smooth sounds of Bob Seger’s Night Moves. A classic choice to help navigate the highs and lows of adolescence. 🚗🌙🎧 There was another long list of winners on these ones, so come see Mrs. Anderson if you think you're on the list! Who’s up next? You’ll have to tune in at 12:15 to find out! Get your ears ready, your guesses locked in, and as always—keep the music playing! 🎵🔥
