Jack Mackenzie Arts Education

Yesterday our Senior Choir began preparations for Remembrance Day.  This year we will sing "Flying Free" by Don Besig.  Choir members can access their practice videos on YouTube by going to my channel.  Search "Alicia Reschny" and click on the playlist.  Choose the soprano video for "Flying Free" if you are in Gr. 5/6.  Gr. 7/8 students should choose the alto video.  As always, check with your parents before going on YouTube.  Happy practicing:)

We are all getting very excited about celebrating Mr. Mackenzie's birthday on Tuesday, October 3.  Thank you to the SLC for providing each class with that beautiful book.  We are looking forward to the pancake breakfast you are planning too!  The kids have also been busy planning and practicing musical and dance presentations for Mr. Mackenzie's birthday assembly at 9am in the gym.  Please join us to celebrate on Tuesday if you are able!

Hello everyone, Please stop in to the music room tonight from 5:30-6:30 after the BBQ to say hello.  For our new families, my room is C111.  It is on the main floor, opposite the gym.  I would love to get to know you and show you our music and drama/dance rooms.  For our returning families, you will get a chance to see our new ukuleles.  These are purchased by Mr. Jack Mackenzie.  If you are fortunate to know him, please thank him!! On our notice board, you will see that our Senior Choir begins next Thursday at lunch.  Umoja will continue this year, starting in October.  Ms. Hinz will be in to help with this group, along with Ms. Scott and I.  If you have any questions, I am happy to answer them tonight.  If you can't make it in, you can email me at alicia.reschny@rbe.sk.ca.   Enjoy the BBQ!

What a great week at Jack Mackenzie!  It was so wonderful to get to know students and a few parents.  Thank you for your warm welcome and excitement in music and drama classes.  This week Ms. Scott's class helped to unpack 32 new ukuleles.  Our grade 7/8 classes all got a chance to play them already.  A very big thank you to Mr. Jack Mackenzie for these beautiful instruments!! We are all so excited!
