Highlights from the Week


Our Grade 5 Strings students delivered an awesome performance at Poe MS on January 16!  Thank you to Ms. Suchecki for preparing our students and for her leadership in organizing this trip, and to Ms. McEntyre for supporting us!  Our students were respectful, responsible, and safe!

Our Grade 5 Chorus students ROCKED it in front of a packed audience at the Annandale Pyramid Winter Chorus Event on January 16!  The event was at Annandale HS and featured Chorus students from Annandale, Poe, Holmes, Braddock, and the remaining elementary schools in our pyramid.

 

 

Shout-out to Mx. Queen for getting our students ready for this heartwarming evening, and for their leadership and collaboration with their Annandale Pyramid colleagues to bring our communities together and expose our students to middle and high school!
