For Grades 5 and 6 students...actors are always needed for the school Musicals
Annual events include:

Elementary students also have the chance to help design and paint props and scenery for the musicals. The Elementary Concert includes a Musical which is usually quite a grand affair with lots of dancing, acting, singing and stage designing.
The students are exposed to a wide variety of listening music during their lessons. Styles include: Pop, Rock, Country, Jazz,Classical, Choral, Swing and Blues. Appreciation for every style is encouraged. Through this work the students learn all about the various instruments of the orchestra and how electronic sounds are produced.
Grade 6 students each year produce a special Lip Sync Entertainment as part of our Education Week celebrations every March. This production is put together by the students themselves and is always a big hit with the rest of the Elementary students.
