The MWMS sixth grade chorus, under the direction of Ms. Maria Diaz, recently participated in a unique and educational workshop focusing on Indian classical music. Presented by Mr. Naren Budhkar of the East-West School of Dance here in Monroe, students performed talas (rhythms) and ragas (melodies) in preparation for their performance of TaReKiTa at their upcoming spring concert.
The MWMS sixth-grade orchestra, under the direction of orchestra and music production teacher, Ms. Mika Leonard, had an exciting experience during spring break. Crusaders participated in a practice session with Mrs. E’lissa Jones Maynard, a local music teacher, violinist, singer, and songwriter. While encouraging students to pursue their dreams, Mrs. Maynard also shared valuable performing tips. Students learned a "secret recipe" for improvisation solos as well as techniques for enhancing stage presence. Great takeaways to put into practice for the upcoming spring concerts!🎼🎻

Before the break, MWMS math teachers Ms. Gower and Ms. Beneat held a "Spring Recess Sprint" for eighth graders. In small groups, students participated by finding hidden eggs in the recess area, containing either a piece of candy or a math problem.
If the egg held a math problem, the team solved it collaboratively, had it approved by a teacher, and a new student searched for the next egg. If it held candy, a new student immediately searched for the next egg. A bunny was even spotted, encouraging everyone to "hop to it!"🐰✖️➗
