Happy Tuesday everyone! Wow we had a great day today! Our music staff, Ms. Timko, Mrs. Minner and Ms. Safley put on a concert for our students to celebrate Black History month. It was fantastic! The musical talent we have here at Schaefer is awesome! In choir we had three soloists, Mauii Stafford, Aniyah McGowan and Jailah Strickland, in band we had a trumpet soloist, Edwin Ortiz and in orchestra we had a guest student conductor, Eddie Strayer. After our students played and sang we had a guest, Adjunct Professor of Percussion from Wittenberg University, Ed Dunlap do a live Interactive Percussion Clinic. He studied music in West Africa and Ghana. All the instruments he brought were from there and some of our students got to learn to play them and together played a song. It was beautiful!

This week, students from Hayward, Schaefer, SOI and Springfield High School showcased their art, poetry, spoken word and musical abilities at the Springfield Museum of Art during the 'Art that Bonds' event.
The theme for this year's event was "The 'I' v. The 'Eye': How I see myself vs. How you see me." We are so proud of these young artists and how well they represented our District! More pictures are available on the District's Instagram.

This helps with quarterly rewards and supply the school store. All you need to do is show them this flyer when you order your food. If you are considering ordering out this week, please do so Thursday night from 4-7 at Penn Station. Any questions contact our office.
