Special Video 2/20/15

There's some big things going on in Kansas news right now with our Governor Brownback and cutting school funding.  KCK public schools in particular was called out by the Governor for spending too much money on.... a piano?!?! Which is ridiculous.

One of KCK Sumner students decided to respond to his cuts.

Here's a link to the news video:

Don't blame my school, Governor!

Good Morning, Tiger Jazz.
I know this is a repeated post... but I really feel a renewed purpose in my teaching with my current life status.  This is why I do my job...

Good Morning, Tiger Jazz,

I've had a rough couple of days, which explains my lengthy absence.  I've got some serious things going on, which I'm not ready to talk about at this time.

However, I'm back today and ready to work with Diligence!  I'm excited to hear how the band clinic went and what you learned from her!  I had a great report from Ms. Rinerson, Mr. Rogers, and Ms. Lin about your Clinic behavior, focus, etc.  So THANK YOU for choosing to allow our music to go on.  You don't need me to make all this wonderful music happen.  I'm just the facilitator to your awesomeness.

Continue to do your best and be nice to people today!!

Musically Yours,
-Mrs. Reynolds
