Hot! Hot! Hot!

This weather has taken its toll on music classes...especially the Kindergarten and First Grade classes! We hope it will cool down soon and we can get back to music fun in the afternoon! Students in all the grade levels will be having fun with many of the new instruments purchased this summer! Thanks to Mrs. Meehan's help, we are working on improving our stock of percussion instruments at Irving. Many are worn and tattered and are needing replacing. We have a good start on this process!
