Hello WAES Students and Families!

Welcome to the 2021-2022 School Year! I am so excited to get to see everyone back at school, as well as meet all of our new friends! I hope that we have a safe and fun year of creating, exploring, and growing as musicians together. My goal for this year is to make music fun and engaging, so that we can catch up on anything we didn't get to learn last year, and move forward to make our classes even more talented than they already are. Get ready to move, sing, and discover because it is going to be an exciting year!

Many of our pre-COVID activities will be back, including PTA Programs and Honor Choir! Please be on the lookout for information on both of these, as well as the planned safety measures for all gatherings. For now, all information about programs/choir can be found under the "Programs and Events" tab, but a dedicated choir page and Google Classroom will be coming soon.

Make sure to check out this website and all of the fun learning opportunities that I have for you. There are a lot of things and I understand that it can be overwhelming or hard to learn, so have your parents contact me if there are ANY questions about the website.

Goodbye for now friends!
