What an AMAZING year at AES!
- We had several fantastic full grade music programs and performances throughout the year.
- Our Atchison Aviators traveled to several wonderful performance venues, including the University of Kansas, the Topeka Performance Arts Center, and Atchison High School.
- Our students broke several All-Time AES Recorder Karate records, including new Third, Fourth and Fifth Grade Records and we have begun a brand-new program, Vocal Karate, which is our adaption of the incredibly successful program, Recorder Karate.
- Our students had the opportunity to enjoy performances by former AES students and community performers in AHS Adrenaline, AHS Marching Band, and the Atchison Theatre. Thank you for visiting our school and sharing your incredible talent with us!
- We also continued to develop our Music Creation instrumental ensemble, which performed earlier this quarter.
What will the future hold for our young musicians? We can't wait to hear and see their progress over the summer...
Don't forget that several AES teachers and Benedictine College student teachers became Black Belts this year. It was so much fun to see the joy and pride their classrooms had in seeing their teachers embrace the challenge of becoming a Black Belt. How many new Black Belt teachers will we have next year?
Our mantra this year in the AES music department has been to NEVER GIVE UP! We strongly believe that music helps our students develop perseverance, teamwork and establish incredibly high expectations for themselves and others. Congratulations, AES K-5 Aviators, on a wonderful year.
AES Aviators, please take a well-deserved bow :)
Enjoy your summer!
