Friday, March 24th, 2023: Did you know March is music in our school's month? Citizenship Academy came together for a music-themed spirit week to show how much we love music. Atoms dressed in blue to celebrate Blues music, styled their hair like a Rock Star, represented musical cultures, glamorized themselves for the red carpet, and became Pop Star sensations. Music teachers taught students music from the USA, India, Mexico, Japan, and Africa. Outside of the music room, students wrote about why they love music. We are so happy to have music in our school!
