We gathered together on the first day back at school to enjoy an assembly which featured our long-term substitute Teacher, Julie Spring, playing the harp. Ms. Spring, a trained harpist, has played professionally in a variety of settings, including time with the Chicago Symphony and as principal harpist for the Toronto Symphony Orchestra. She promised me early on that she would bring in her harp to perform for our students.
Experiencing music in person is such a unique opportunity, and it was amazing to see how attentive students were during the event. At the end of the assembly Ms. Spring teamed up with Mollee Nosek, our Speech Language Pathologist, to perform a small piece of opera, which Ms. Nosek sang beautifully. The video below doesn't do justice to the moment!
