We have some VERY exciting news! On Monday, June 13, Mrs. Chapman's Grade 2/3 class and a few older students have been selected to join in the MusiCounts Band Aid Celebration at Stevenson in the music room. Our school is the recipient of a $10,000 music grant from MusiCounts Band Aid program and we have purchased many new instruments for the music room. The Aboriginal People's Television Network will be filming us and this celebration will be aired on their TV station as well as showcased at the Forks on June 25 for the Aboriginal Day Live. In addition, we will be meeting and greeting a very special guest, Don Amero. He has been nominated for Canada's most prestigious music awards including Junos (top Canadian music award), toured coast‐to‐coast, appeared on national television, presented at festivals, performed with the symphony, and showcased in New York City. The students are preparing a little song to play for our guests. In addition, a few students have been chosen to do one-on-one interviews talking about what music means to us at Stevenson and how we feel about our new instruments. We look forward to sharing our experience with you.
Please join us on Monday afternoon if you can from 2:00 - 3:00pm in the Music Room.
