Had the most incredible time conducting the OCMEA Jr All-County Chorus this weekend. To come back to my roots and conduct an ensemble that helped shape me as a musician was an indescribable experience. The students were so well-prepared and hungry to REALLY make some great music.
New Teacher Orientation has been full w/info for 1st, 2nd and 3rd yr teachers. Sarah Silverman & Kimberly Omoloju co-planned a session for new teachers on identity, belonging, and the history of schooling, complimenting their Seeking Educational Equity and Diversity (SEED) work.
Today we observed another moment of silence at Pleasantville High School in memory of the most recent shooting victims in Uvalde. Legislation and services must change, thoughts and prayers are not enough!
Thank you SO MUCH to Mrs. Rizzo and some high school chorus students for visiting 7th & 8th grade chorus today. We had a blast singing together & it was a joy for me to see my former students still singing! 💕 🎶 🎤
Happy National Schools Principals’ Day to our very own Mr. Marra @pvillemsny. A big thank you for all that you do for our students, families, and staff.
That’s a wrap! We are all incredibly grateful for how much we have grown together & are left with precious memories forever 💚 Stream the show next Friday and Saturday - don’t miss it!!!
Well it happened today - my students stopped me and said, “Wait Ms. Heyman isn’t that a skip in the music instead of step? You’re playing a step.” And they were right. I've never been so happy to be wrong!
