Windes Music

Hello Pioneer and Harris students and parents. I was Music Teacher at Harris 15 years ago, for 10 YEARS, 1998-2008. Itaught Adaptive Music for 7 years, and General Music at Pioneer Elementary for 10 years. I got my K-12 Bachelors at ASU, and I got my Special Education Master's degree at GCU. I was the TECH for Harris all 10 years, and I've taught Computers in Elementary Summer School for 8 years, so you might have seen me there, too! I am so excited to be at both schools because it's like I am at my favorite two schools, my last school, and my first school!!! Come see me anytime!

Join a Magician and his daughter as they try to become a sensation in their new little town, only to have it backfire on them. Then, when all seems hopeless, it's only they who can step up and save the town from disaster! Sit back and enjoy the story of Abiyoyo the giant, and the unlikely heroes of this story from a song by Pete Seeger, dramatized in his book of the same name.

A HUGE thank you goes out to the students and parents who contributed hours and hours of their time and talents to make this video play possible. This year, the choir not only wrote the lyrics, chose the music, drew the pictures, and came up with lines for the script, they acted, they sang, and the sacrificed free time to come together with their fellow choir friends and make this video. We couldn't get up on stage this year to play, sing, and act this out like we planned, but you can see for yourself what an amazing job each student did to play their part!

I want to send out a very special thank you to three teachers who worked with the students and gave their time and energy to make this play better -

Mr. Moore, Ms. Waymack, and Mrs. Lencho-Armstrong.

As the Drama coach, Mr. Moore was there to inspire and notch up the student's acting chops at the rehearsals. Ms. Waymack as the Stage Coordinator was at my right hand helping with organizing and encouraging the kids to keep to a level of high quality that marks great performances. Mrs. Lencho-Armstrong joined us out of necessity when we couldn't go onstage as the Art Director, and there is simply no way we could have done all the artwork and then edited it into what you will see took hours of her time to do!

Thank you! Thank you! Thank you!
