Great night of music and movement at HPES. Big thank you to our school board who continue to support the music and arts programs in WCS. 4th grade cardio drumming had families moving and grooving in their seats to music across the decades.

HPES 5th grade enjoying some movement to rhythms on a beautiful morning. Music increasing became faster and students changed directions at a particular beat. Great lesson for movement and music.

🌟Today we celebrate Custodian Appreciation Day!
