Sweet Music for Summertime

The Music Appreciation class organized a performance as their final for the summer semester. (How awesome are they!?) These students really went above and beyond. The classmates played pieces they wrote during the course, as well as some popular numbers such as Ashokan Farewell by Jay Ungar and Sweet Is the Work by John J. McClellan. The ensemble included piano, keyboard, violin, viola, flute, guitar and other instruments students practiced during the class. Their instructor Marilyn Cox performed with them. She was proud of her students and glad to have the chance to play with them. She said she thought they were a talented bunch. I think this class has set a new, higher bar for students following them!

Wrapping Up CFK

Our CFK wrapped up this week. I always love to peek in and get some pix of the awesome projects the kids get going. Here Brandie Wero (R) and India Bulletts constructed a "roller coaster" using pipe insulation, marbles and other misc materials. They've been studying centripetal force and gravity in Marilyn Cox's "Science or Fiction" course. Looking forward to the fun next year will bring!

Celebrating Our New Dean

Mary Horsley was teaching College for Kids students in her Cooking Corner class cake decorating on Wed. The students decided to decorate a cake to welcome our new Dean, Carolyn Hamblin, to her new post. Here's Mary and Carolyn all smiles with kids and cake. Pretty thoughtful. We hope the kids have a good time on campus, we certainly enjoy them while they're here with us. BTW, the cake was delicious - Carolyn was kind enough to share it around :)
