Field trips

We will again be taking advantage of Ann Arbor's cultural opportunities with field trips to area music performances this school year. Kindergarteners, first-, and second-graders will be attending
Mariachi Vargas de Tecalitlán, which promises to be an exciting way to celebrate our musical "Global Citizenship" on January 28, 2013. 3/4 and 5/6 classes will be attending the Ragamala Dance performance on April 24, 2013 as they use myth, music, and dance together to communicate with audiences, touching on themes of Global Citizenship and Circle of Life.

Edit: Unfortunately, we will not be able to attend From Cass Corridor to the World, as school is not in session that day. Stay tuned for alternate plans.

Finally, the entire school will attend this year's Ann Arbor Symphony Orchestra Youth Concert on March 13, 2013, focusing on nationalistic classical music from around the world, another great way to explore our global citizenship.

If you would like to help out as a chaperone at one of these performances, please contact me or your child's classroom teacher. Because of limited space on buses, chaperones may have to drive separately and meet us at the concert venue - either Hill Auditorium or the Power Center, both in downtown Ann Arbor.
