Maples Drumming and Chorus performed at the Christmas Party on Saturday December 10th. The students were treated to a workshop with Karim Nagi a drummer, dancer and singer from Egypt. What a wonderful opportunity for our Maples students to learn from a true master.
Here is 5th grader Shakir Shakir, with cool and colorful hair. 
Since I am in 5 buildings this year I will need to divide up my availability between my buildings for Parents Teacher Conferences. Signs will be posted in my teaching locations, too.
