Today the IBES fourth graders preformed Boomwhackers for their families and friends. Boomwhackers are plastic tubes of different lengths and colors that, when struck, produce different pitches. These instruments are pretty new to Mr. Geiger's Music Class, so Fourth Graders have only had access to them for about a year. Students work together to play chords (multiple pitches at once) or create a melody (one pitch at a time). When students sing or play drums in Music Class, they are almost always making the same sounds in unison, so playing the boomwhackers gives students an opportunity to be just one part in a larger ensemble.
Parents can view the video of the preformance on the IBES concert website. Great Job IBES 4th graders~

The IB Christmas Hope Organization is sponsoring an Angel Tree Gift Card Drive for the 2022 holiday season. The drive will run from November 14 through December 14.
The purpose of the Angel Tree Gift Card Drive is to collect gift cards to provide to our 6th -12th grade students in need and send a little holiday cheer their way. We currently have identified about 100 students in this age group that would benefit from the drive this holiday season.
Our hope is to provide each child with a $25 gift card along with a small wrapped gift.
If you would like to help us meet our goal, please purchase a gift card that you feel a child in this age group would enjoy and return the gift card to any school office by Wednesday, December 14, with a note indicating it is for the Angel Tree Gift Card Drive. You may also make a cash donation, if you prefer, and we will gladly take care of the shopping for you.
Your assistance with our effort to spread kindness and joy this holiday season is greatly appreciated!
If you have any questions, please contact Lisa Webb at 389-2231, Ext. 1057 or e-mail lwebb@ib327.com.
