Hello Bison Family,
Hopefully everyone has had a great start to the 2019-2020 school year! I wanted to pass off a few pieces of information so you and your musician can best prepare for the next few months. As many of you know, my husband and I are so excited to welcome our first baby in September, and I will need to step away from the music classroom for a while; I do plan to return in January 2020! We have hired a wonderful music substitute teacher to fill in for me. Here is a little more information about Ms. Aspen Richard:
Aspen is filling in for Shawna Lemons while she is on maternity leave. She is teaching music K-5, along with the concert and symphonic band ensembles. She graduated from Grand Canyon University in Phoenix with her Bachelor’s Degree in Education, where she also was part of an a cappella group.
Before coming to High Plains Elementary, she taught second grade in the district. In her classroom, Aspen looks forward to actively engaging her students through music and helping students grow through strong relationships with both her and their peers. She is excited to be a part of the herd!
Please glance over the HPS music event calendar for this year and include these events on your calendars. As always, this information is also shared on the music website (www.HPSmusic.com) and our Instagram (@_hpsmusic). If changes occur, they will be communicated throughout the same channels as soon as possible.
Finally, we will be again kicking off the school year with some new, custom HPS apparel. We are excited to introduce new Bison gear to our students, families, staff and community members! The funds gained from these sales will support our continued growth as a program and will directly affect each K-8 student. The deadline for online orders is Friday, September 13th and orders will arrive at the school in October.
Thank you so much for being a supportive community for all of these wonderful life moments! I can’t wait to see you all here soon!
