I signed up for this as a fluke, but have made the second cut! Out of my group of 66 (I think there are four groups), I am in the top 15. I need to be in the top 10 on April 9th to move onto the next round. Please keep voting and share it so your friends can vote, too! I would love to have Bill Nye come to do an assembly for our school! The trip to Hawaii would be ok, too 😘

I love being able to provide a safe and welcoming space where my students can explore their gifts while being their authentic selves.

A great day in Chicago with students and chaperones! We started with a tasty lunch at Lou Malnati’s and then headed to the Cadillac Palace Theater to see Phantom of the Opera.

Elevator selfie and a pre-performance photo of our high school choir at the Coronado. We recorded three songs for WTVO’s Sounds of the Season special. Keep an eye out for days and times that you can watch!

Be safe tonight. I will be looking to see if we can reschedule for later this week or next week.

I am so proud of our four high school students who are rehearsing all day for the ILMEA District 8 Senior choir concert. We also have 2 junior high band students and 2 high school band students hard at work today.

Leaving school before 6 am and singing for 4 hours = tired kids. 😂
