Good morning, families! 😊There is nothing better than starting the day with some big smiles and big sounds. Check out this adorable video from yesterday of our Littlest Leaders—our amazing Pre-K students-joining the incredible Fort Stewart percussion players!
They may be small, but they sure brought a lot of heart (and rhythm!) to our end-of-the-unit percussion celebration.
A huge thank you to the Fort Stewart musicians for visiting us, performing with our students, and creating an unforgettable experience for our little ones!🦅❤️

🎉 Pre-K Marching Band on the Move! 🥁🎶
Today was a truly magical day for our youngest learners as they celebrated their End of the Unit Percussion Celebration!

Our talented Pre-K students became the stars of the show, stepping into the spotlight for a special Pre-K Marching Band Performance! Our Youngest Eagles proudly marched alongside real musicians from the Fort Stewart Percussion band, who came out to lead our parade and share their incredible rhythm and energy.

The coolest part? Our little musicians performed using homemade instruments that they built themselves right in their classrooms! It was amazing to hear the wonderful beats and creative sounds they brought to life with their own hands.

We want to send a huge shoutout and a special thank you to the fantastic Fort Stewart percussion players who volunteered their time and marched with us today: SFC Mesa, SFC Brinkman, SSG Qu, SPC Malle, and SSG Habeeb-Louks! Thank you for bringing so much joy, inspiration, and rhythm to our students.
We are so incredibly proud of our Pre-K students for their hard work, creativity, and fantastic performance today. Way to soar, Eagles! 🦅🌟
