Music — more than a class Besides giving students a chance to explore their interest in music, the intermediate music program provides many performing opportunities. Approximately 200 fourth, fifth, and sixth graders are involved in choirs that meet during recess. Those with instrumental interests can participate in fifth and sixth grade bands. The December 5 Winter Concert featured all groups. Fifth graders performed Amahl and the Might Visitors for all fifth grade classes. Robin Hood, a sixth grade production, was given January 21. Concert Band played in a Meet the Band” assembly for intermediate and primary schools on March 6. The Spring Concert and Fine Arts Fair involved all groups.

Co-curriculum fosters interests A co-curriculum allows intermediate students a chance to develop areas of interest outside the basics. Students receive instruction in conversation-al linguistic Arabic, art, general music, physical education, and computer education. They can also choose to participate in instrumental music.
