Due to limited numbers, Pekin JV Girls’ Basketball tonight at Wapello will only be two quarters this evening instead of a full four. Boys JV basketball will play RIGHT AFTER the Girls’ game is complete. Varsity games will play at their regularly scheduled times.

Elementary Music
We have had a fun time in elementary music class so far this year. Students are back to singing, learning new concepts, dancing and playing new music games along with their favorites. Talk Like a Pirate Day is always a hit and students enjoy hearing their new pirate name. K-3rd grades are learning from our new curriculum on becoming Artful, Tuneful and Beatful. 3rd & 4th grades have also been delving into identifying the different kinds of notes. 5th and 6th grades are preparing for their upcoming concert on December 8th at 6:00 pm in the high school gymnasium. I have been sending emails concerning concert attire for our 5th/6th grade band members. Please be aware! I will be sending more detailed information as we get closer to our concert date. Hopefully students are sharing what they have been learning with you. If not, please ask them to share :0)
