From the Instructional Coach

COACH CORNER: SUMMERTIME BOREDOM….

As parents, you probably wonder what to do with your child to keep his or her brain active during those long, hot, summer days.  If you ask any teacher the one thing they would recommend: READ!  That is the most beneficial thing for your child to do during the summer.  We all need a break to play and relax, but reading is the easiest, most cost effective (we have a great local library!) activity to keep your child’s brain in gear.  

Jefferson County Public Library has an excellent summer reading program for all ages.  As you read throughout the summer, you keep track of your time and activities completed and can collect prizes!  Have fun, and hope to see you at the library!  For more information, visit https://jeffcolibrary.org/summer-reading/

Music Happenings

It is with mixed feelings I share that I will not be returning to Leawood Elementary next year. I am moving into teaching music privately, with the goal of opening my own music education studio in 2020. I am so glad for the time I have spent getting to know and work in this community and sad to say goodbye, but I am excited for what is to come next and hope to continue to make music with the Leawood community in a different capacity.
