Winter Break

Winter Break is almost here! Only a few more days and then it will be time to celebrate the holidays! I hope everyone has a safe and wonderful break. Happy Holidays!!!

Bravo

The 2nd Grade Holiday Musical was performed last night for Music and Math Night at Mossy Head School. It was FABULOUS!!!! I am so proud of the 2nd grade! Their hard work paid off. Tomorrow the Headliners will be performing holiday songs at the Stanley House at 9:00. See you then!

Music in Pictures

The students at MHS are participating in a wonderful Art Contest sponsored by the Rosemary Beach Foundation entitled, "Music in Pictures." Students were asked to listen to several wonderful scores by the composer, Camille Saint-Saens entitled, "Carnival of the Animals." Students are to use their imaginations after listening to the classical music and then interpret what they hear through their visual art. Combining the animal they choose, carnival-like aspects, and music was an exciting challenge. This challenge has produced some amazing artwork. Thank you Rosemary Beach Foundation for sponsoring this wonderful competition!

December Music

The 2nd graders at MHS will be performing the musical, "The Holiday Show" on December 13th. Practice is going great and I know the students will do a wonderful job! Also, the Headliners will be singing some classic holiday music to the residents at the Stanley House in DeFuniak Springs on December 15th. Happy December!

Happy Thanksgiving!

Happy Thanksgiving to everyone!!! Hope your week off is restful, relaxing, and enjoyable!!! Don't forget to watch the Macy's Thanksgiving Day Parade. It is one of my favorite Thanksgiving Day traditions!

Education Week



Education Week is next week and MHS will be celebrating by hosting Muffins with Mom on Tuesday, Donuts with Dad on Wednesday, and Granola with Grandparents on Friday. On Thursday, Thanksgiving Dinner will be served at lunch for both students and parents with the price being $3.00 per adult. Also, the Headliners did a WONDERFUL job performing for the Veterans Day Program! So proud of you guys! Have a great 3 day weekend everyone!

The Fair is Here!

The Walton County Fair is occurring this week and I am proud to say that the Headliners will be performing on the main stage Wednesday at 6:30PM. MHS also has several pieces of artwork on display. Congratulations to those students who had pieces entered to represent our school! This month in Art we are studying Printmaking and in Music we are studying Rhythm and Blues. Check back in for further info!

Keith Haring & Broadway

For the month of September, MHS students are studying about American pop artist Keith Haring. His artwork inspired many people and always displayed iconic symbols. In music class, students are studying the infamous musical genius duo, Rodgers and Hammerstein. We are discussing and viewing video clips of their work from the Sound of Music and The King and I. Students are also learning about Broadway and its significance and history. The first Headliners practice was this past week. It was terrific to see so many 4th and 5th graders show up for practice! It is going to be a wonderful year. Keep watching for upcoming events!

Labor Day and Open House

This Monday, September 3rd, is Labor Day. Therefore, there will be no school, but please remember that Tuesday, September 4th is Open House. Please stop by the Art Room to view student portfolios thus far. They are wonderful! Also, if you have signed up for Headliners, our first practice is Thursday, September 6th. Rest up this holiday weekend because it is going to be a busy, fun week!
