Giddyup!

The very fortunate grade sevens from Mr. Bernier's science class will be having a live demonstration tomorrow, March 13th of blacksmithing and farrier science which will give them an excellent real-life example of heat and temperature as they have been studying from the curriculum! They will watch the forging of steel and see live horses get their shoes fitted (not heels though.) This will be in the yard, not the classroom, btw.

Mr. B. also wanted to thank all of his students who took the time and effort to prepare for and participate in Music Festival this year and said he was very pleased with all of your performances. Way to represent!

In other strings-related news, the PASO, or Prince Albert Strings Orchestra is having its annual concert at Rivier on April 21 at 7:00 p.m. Tickets are $15.00 and can be purchased from any of the orchestra members. I know we have at least five at school this year: Quinn, Emma Eaton, Violet, Jordan McEwen, and Megan Dierker. Sorry if I missed anyone!

Great Job At Music Festival!

A big congratulations to all of our Rivier music festival participants - it was great to see such wonderful representation once again this year. I know it is nerve-wracking to get up there on that stage, so WAY TO GO!!! Now you can breathe a sigh of relief (a bit) until the year-end concert!
I thought I would post this little video I really enjoyed from Soul Pancake - even though it's Christmas-themed it includes Kevin Olusola, a really awesome beat-boxing cellist. If you enjoy this little snippet of him here, I'm sure you can find out a lot more about him with a google search. Plus, "kid president" is just adorable! Enjoy.
