Music
-
Our music program offers a hands-on approach to learning music. Students will sing, create, perform and explore the many genres and techniques within music!
In late Spring, students have a music concert combined with an art show. Each grade level performs two songs for family and the school.
Other activities our music program provides are a holiday sing-a-long and a dance party.

Verse 1:
A gift from France to the United States.
A broken chain lies at her feet.
She’s stepping out, away from servitude.
No more oppression, a better life.
A potent symbol of freedom,
Enlightenment, and inspiration.
Liberty! Lady Liberty!
Standing tall, your torch held high!
Give me your tired, your poor,
Your huddled masses yearning to breathe free!
Lady Liberty!
Lady Liberty! (FANCY)
Verse 2:
Upon these shores, the flame of liberty
Burns ever brightly for all to see.
We see her there, the dream of immigrants.
Mother of exiles, welcome us home.
A potent symbol of freedom,
Enlightenment, and inspiration.
Liberty! Lady Liberty!
Standing tall, your torch held high!
Give me your tired, your poor,
Your huddled masses yearning to breathe free!
Lady Liberty!
