Greetings ARTS BLOG friends!
As we jump into this long weekend (the last weekend in May!), we salute our heroes all around us, through our actions, our art and our music. This weekend, Durfee Band and Chorus will be performing at three events in support and dedication to those who have served our country. They will perform today at Oak Grove Cemetery, followed by the Salute to Heroes Tribute. On Monday, the band will march in the Memorial Day Parade, accompanied by fellow middle school band members.
In the news this week...
Check out these bugs that are popping up all over Durfee! Ms. Pereira's students have designed and constructed these crazy big insects and they will be causing an "interactive infestation" of our office spaces! So fun!
And a pic of the Durfee Band getting seniors PUMPED at the First Annual College Signing Ceremony!
But, take a look at the Letourneau 5th Graders ready to ROCK THE HOUSE at the Rhode Island Philharmonic, as they were asked to perform ON STAGE! In front of THOUSANDS! Woooo Hoooo!
So proud of all of these accomplishments...
Great work, FRPS Arts Fam!
In addition, the BMC Durfee High School Senior Awards Ceremony was held Thursday evening, and the following students were given a dedicatory book award:
Have a wonderful long weekend!
