The Music Department has some big shoes to fill!
District 28 has an award-winning music department in part due to these three veteran teachers who are hanging up their batons this spring after countless hours of dedication to our students and to their love of music. We sincerely wish them a retirement filled with relaxation and all the things they hold dear! πΉ

Editor's Note
Editor's Note
This digital publication is created during a new literacy exploratory called Publishing with Purpose. Every sixth grade student rotates through this six-week course. There will be three issues each school year. Each issue will highlight submissions from two terms. I am very proud of The Trojan Times journalists.
These hard-working eleven and twelve year olds have learned so much. As with any learning journey, there is always room for growth. This is our third issue for the 2021-2022 school year and our second year as a publication. Not only have we learned a lot about how to be journalists, but also we have learned to problem solve and work collaboratively with our story teams.
Please understand that you will encounter some tech issues as you enjoy this issue, but overall, I think their enthusiasm and messages shine through!
Ms. Julie Buzza, NBCT
