Talent show Update:

At this time Talent Show will most likely be cancelled, which may not affect everyone but for those who look forward to this event every year will be disappointed. I encourage those who were planning on auditioning this year to still decide on a talent and practice this on your own at home.

Once you have a "audition prepared" send a video my way (mporco@wsd1.org). I do not have the means to share with the whole school, nor will I share your video with the public. However, I will share with Ms Ings like we normally do at the talent show auditions.

Having a completed video showcasing your talent is still something positive to work towards. If school resumes, the students who submitted videos to me will then be ready to perform with the limited practice and preparation time.

Spring:

I hope you have all been going outside and enjoying the beautiful spring weather we have been having. This isn't really an assignment but just a reminder to "stop and smell the roses" as some people would say. Next time you are outside I want you to stop what you are doing and just take 30 seconds and listen to the sounds the spring had brought us. If you want to share with me what you are hearing you are welcome to. If you want to just take this moment and enjoy it individually you can do that too.

Hope you are all staying safe and healthy. Miss you all!
