The shoe drive is in connection with Micro-Entrepreneurs who help those in need of shoes and are barefoot. Also, this shoe drive is going to help our school by getting some money. Every pound you donate will bring $1.50 back to our school. You can bring the shoes anytime and remember to tell a family member. Our largest collection time will take place during February conferences.

January 10th of 2020, some of our fellow students took over the Sears Center court in a big way! The Keller Chorus had an AMAZING opportunity to preform some songs at the pregame. The songs Ms. Stoeck chose to have us sing were: "High Hopes" by Panic! At the Disco, "Count On Me" by Bruno Mars, and finally "Sweet Home Chicago" by The Blues Brothers. We definitely hit a high note with our performance. And, not only did we make Keller proud, but we represented the whole district. Good job, Wildcats!

Euphony of Music
Euphony of Music

Articulation, sudden dynamics, graceful melody, a swift but lively tempo, and gorgeous harmony. Music is incredible in the fact it can change our mood and touch people’s hearts. It’s really something that people can put their emotions into which is the reason why the people who are listening, listen in amazement. I take part in the orchestra and I play the violin. “I personally love orchestra because it lets us experience a sense of accomplishment and experience the idea of collaboration. That is exactly how I felt during the concert. After the days, weeks, and months of practicing, it really displayed the theme of how effort can pay off, and as a result, be rewarding.”

One of the pieces of music that was really memorable and unique, was the song that was played at the end called “'Twas the Night Before Christmas” (music by Aaron Dai and the poem for the narrator part by Clement Clarke Moore). In this one song, numerous pieces of classical Christmas music were played, making it enjoyable for both us as performers and the audience since it let people recall songs. Mr. Barbini also helped make things even more interesting by making a contribution to being the narrator of this song.
Music is a big part of our lives because it’s everywhere! The radio in your car, YouTube from your phone, background music from movies, the tune from instruments, etc. And there are many benefits and positive effects that music can result in. According to The New York Times, scientists have shown that when we listen to music, it causes the release of the neurotransmitter dopamine which results in a motivational component to reward-motivated behavior. I'm sure the audience who was listening to this was experiencing this too. That night was an achievement for the performers. They are there performing because of all of the accumulation of effort they put in during the past several years, and it’s definitely something to be proud of for them. As you listen to the wonders of music, I hope you will experience how music can impact you and be able to just thank the presence of music.

The journey that leads our way through life moves us to keep going; that's exactly the message that the Keller Junior High (KJH) choir group sent out to the audience...

Tuesday, December 17 of 2019, the KJH choir group had three concerts. One in the morning for the KJH 8th graders, one in the afternoon for the 7th graders, and one at night for the KJH family! All the songs that the choir sang were about the journey. During the four month practice for those five amazing songs, the musical group learned so much about the journey that we face on a daily basis. In addition, we can never forget the hard work of the Conant H.S. Vocal Jazz Group. Everyone did an AWESOME job to send the message needed to the audience!

MLK Day
MLK Day
Martin Luther King Jr. was an American Christian minister and activist for the Civil Rights Movement. He became the most visible spokesperson and leader during the movement from 1955 until his assassination in 1968. This holiday is similar to those set under the Uniform Monday Holiday Act which was an act of Congress. Many schools are closed because it is observed on the third Monday of January each year, which is around King's birthday, January 15th. My hope is that I informed you more on why we have this day off in memory of Martin Luther King Jr., but more importantly that his message still rings in the ears of students who strive for equal rights.

On December 13, 2019, Keller Junior High hosted a movie social in the cafeteria. The students who decided to come to this event watched the movie: "How the Grinch Stole Christmas" (2000). Also on this day students got to lounge in their pajamas! Just watching the students sitting there with their friends and watching the movie was a thrill of pleasure itself. Pizza was sold too and everyone was elated. It was a great and fun time to spend with friends, all while cozy on a Friday afternoon.
