Now these “everyday” buckets are transforming into instruments—our 4th graders are already preparing to showcase them in their upcoming concert, and our 3rd graders have begun composing their very own bucket drum pieces.
So grateful for a community that supports creativity, music, and our students’ joy in learning 💛🎶

DA and OES turned March Madness into MUSIC Madness! 🎶🏀
Students went head-to-head in an epic Battle of the Decades, voting their way through rounds of hits from the 50s, 60s, 70s, 80s, 90s, and beyond. Even the teachers joined in on the voting! There were some major upsets, lots of strong opinions, and even more singing in the hallways!
After all the votes were counted, the champion was “Sunroof” by Nicky Youre.
It was such a fun and memorable way to celebrate music across generations!

Their “Let’s Glow Read” challenge was a month-long reading goal where students set personal goals and worked together toward one big class goal—and they didn’t just meet it, they blew it out of the water with over 13,000 minutes read in March!
To celebrate, the class recently turned off the lights to enjoy all things glow-themed, including glow Jeopardy and math glow Jenga!

Looking back at Leonard Capstone, it was the perfect combination of student interests and curriculum! ✨
During this special event, students had the opportunity to research topics they are passionate about, write papers, and present their findings in fun and creative ways.

Guests also enjoyed an amazing 5th-grade art display throughout the hallways, showcasing student talent, and the event was kicked off with a wonderful song led by our talented music teacher. 🎶🎨
