MUSIC (Boyd)
We have continued to work on our Fine Arts Night songs. Mrs. Boyd has included a lyrics sheet and playlists in the Music Moments April 2025 newsletter. Please refer to the Music Moments newsletter for Composer of the Month information, playlists, Virtue connections, and more!  Students are also encouraged to bring their homemade instruments back to school. We will display them at the FAN, May 8th!

Virtue: Our virtue for the final quarter of the year is GRATITUDE. The word comes from Latin gratus meaning “pleasing, welcome, grateful, beloved, thankful.” It also comes from Greek eucharistia meaning “thanksgiving.” The art featured on our hall and classroom posters is “The Last Supper,” by Leonardo da Vinci. It highlights both the generous gift and offering of thanksgiving in the Christian sacrament of the eucharist.
