Shout-out to the grade 8 crew that totally organized my instruments today. They are like an un-official music council - always willing to help out. This small acts to a long way! I also love hearing them giggle and joke around while we get stuff done.

We’ve been pretty busy over here at OC recording for @CBCMusic challenge #CBCMusicClass today we will record 5 more songs! Our grade 2’s named their band “Cheesy Melodies” and will be performing “I am a Pizza” in their pizza parlour. @oakwrdsb #OCproud

Oak Creek remembered on Friday. Thank you to all classes that prepared for our virtual assembly and to our student MC’s. Our assembly focussed on honouring diverse soldier stories and reflections on peace including Yusuf/Cat Steven’s song, Peace Train. @oakwrdsb

9 classes and a whole lot of help from awesome educators! We had our first rehearsal in the library for our Kindergarten/Grade One/Two/ACE @CBCMusic song. Great way to greet the day! Good morning sun! ☀️ @oakwrdsb

This guy sure had a song in his heart the other day! Being outside makes me want to sing too! Such a beautiful tune and so much expression! @MsWillettR
