🎻✨ Last week, our young musicians came together for Orchestra Camp led by the talented Mr. Joe Berns, Ms. Noelle Stubbe and Ms. Tatum Waldrop! Students worked hard, made music and built friendship.

Orchestra offers students a chance to unplug, work toward shared goals and feel part of something meaningful. Research also shows that students involved in music perform better academically, developing skills like problem-solving, memory and perseverance.

🎶 Don’t miss out! It’s not too late to sign up for orchestra (or any music class) and see where the music can take you. Contact your school, Noelle.stubbe@k12.sd.us or Joseph.berns@k12.sd.us to learn more. #GoEagles #AberdeenPublicSchools
