The 5th and 6th graders will travel to the College of Lake County on Tuesday, October 27, to attend a live musical performance titled Earth to Kenzie. This 45-minute operetta is sung in English. In music class, students will learn about singing/vocal ranges, instruments, storyline, and being a good audience member, among other aspects of the performance.
The trip is partially sponsored by the Lake Geneva Chapter of the Lyric Opera of Chicago.

Last week, our 7th and 8th graders had an exciting opportunity to explore careers in the skilled trades at the Build My Future field trip! Students experienced hands-on activities, interacted with
industry professionals, and learned about career pathways in
fields like construction and the trades. Experiences like this help
students discover interests, connect classroom learning to the
real world, and begin imagining possibilities for their futures. You
never know what experience might spark a student's future
career! See more pictures and videos from this experience here:
