The First Grade Showcase

A Winter Night's Dream

Our first graders recently performed in their fall showcase, A Winter Night's Dream.  We are so proud of their performance and we are pleased to share that performance with you here.

As the program continue to develop, we wanted to share a bit of our performance philosophy with you.  With the development of any performing art, the focus in the first years of study is around building foundational skills which prepare students for deeper application in their performing arts.  With our kindergarten, first grade and second grade students, we plan to alternate between parent informances and showcases.  These will allow all students to perform and focus on the use of their foundational skills and being on stage.  As they continue to develop, expect performances to be deeper and more complex.  These foundational skills yield to plays, concerts, art gallery shows, piano recitals, and musicals.  We try to record every performance to create a library, but some of the material is copyrighted by the publisher.  Whenever possible, we will post performances here on the blog.  If copyright does not allow public posting, but allows distribution to the performers, we will make those recordings available at our cost.

Thanks for being a part of the journey. Enjoy the latest performance !

Finishing Strong

Greetings everyone and Happy Summer !

I am proud to report that we finished the year with a terrific sixth-grade graduation and a wonderful Kindergarten graduation.  The best news is that there is no construction this summer!

Our sixth graders were a great group this year and we were so proud to send them to Boles in style.  Remember that you have the power to make a difference in this world.  We are proud of you and we wish you the very best at Boles. 
Check out the celebration video of our 2017 sixth graders.
(Thanks to Mr. Starr for putting this together.)


Congratulations are also in order for our second class of Dual Language Kindergarteners.
These kids are the graduating class of 2029.  Is that a real number?

We are so proud of your accomplishments and we can't wait to see the positive impact you make on this world.  Enjoy the video of our 2017 Kindergarten Graduation.

The Corey Classic Fun Run


On March 25, 2017, the first annual Corey Classic Fun Run started.  Coach Kenny Tyler and his team came up with the idea in the Student Health Advisory Committee.  Thanks to Healthy Zone Schools for helping to inspire the idea and lead us in the direction of a campus 5K and fun run.  More than 250 participants came out to enjoy some crisp cool air and beautiful weather.


So many wonderful community friends came out to support Corey's first race and we are so honored that you would share your time and talents with us.  As special thank you goes to all of our sponsors for their generous contributions.  We couldn't have done this without your generous donation.
