Made the difficult decision to cancel WSMA Aca U® 2022 Summer Camp (formerly A Cappella University) due to limited staff availability and lower enrollment. Committee discussions about future opportunities for students and educators are already focused on possibility in 2022-23.

Today was the best day! Starting tomorrow, we can play indoors! We'll still be safe with 6' distancing and bell covers. This is a huge win for the performing arts in Dane County! Thanks to everyone who advocated tirelessly. #wimusicstrong #advocacy #studentsarerockstars

I have noticed that in WI, people have found the ability in themselves to say the names of basketball players (long names!) Please apply that care to everyone. Thanks @dchungyalpa for sharing this essay by Huatse Gyal. Read it, and celebrate the beauty of Tibetan names:

@PBSWisconsinEdu @PBSWI Hard to choose just a few, but lately, I have been learning so much from my colleagues @jenkatwork @algahaithi (&many not on twitter,) from @OConnor_DavidJ, @conductormom, @gjladson, @AnnaleeGood, @MoocsTsl and all of the WI educators in our cohorts!

[Be A King @BerniceKing]

As you honor my father today, please honor my mother, as well. She was the architect of the King Legacy and founder of @TheKingCenter, which she founded less than three months after Daddy died. Without #CorettaScottKing, there would be no #MLKDay. #MLK  #BelovedCommunity

Joe can clap on 2 & 4, Kamala’s kids are named after Ella Fitzgerald and John Coltrane, and Jill will be in the White House...so many hopeful music and arts education signs for 2021!

[WSMA @WSMAmusic]

Whether students participated in WSMA Solo & Ensemble Festival or WSMA Virtual Solo Festival this school year, WSMA wants to celebrate their achievement by throwing a virtual party, and everyone's invited!

@boknowsdata @AriB83 @culvers For a well-rounded education, you need to also add concrete turtle malts to the equation.

You cannot call yourself a “culturally responsive” educator if your purpose is to raise test scores rather than to liberate young people’s spirits and ignite their intellectual curiosity.
