I spoke with the 5th Grade Families about LIVE music and the beauty we can find in its imperfections. Here is the @CISCMSD 5th grade Band's live concert performance:

It's Concert Day part two! The 6th graders at @CISCMSD will perform their final farewell concert this evening. It's been a joy teaching them for the past three (or in some cases SEVEN!) years.

It's CONCERT DAY at @CISCMSD!!! We are so excited to welcome the 3rd and 4th graders from @MuseCMSD and Hills-Hendersonville this morning!

Thank you to the two most patient people in the world who support our bands in every possible way: Mr. Kleinhans at @CISCMSD and Mrs. Dziak @MuseCMSD! I could not do my job as well without your guidance, support, and kindness. I appreciate you both more than you could ever know.

What better way is there to celebrate #NationalPrincipalsDay with a day in the life of a school principal?

Thank you, school principals, for all the ways you support your school communities every day!

[Mrs. Grandstaff @bigmacband]

As a person on both sides (a parent and a teacher), the positives often get overlooked. I know we are all so busy. Take the time. Write a positive, short e-mail to their supervisor. It can be so encouraging to see their work recognized and appreciated!
