We are absolutely in love with these bird artworks and poetry by our Cedar Chapel students, created this spring! CCSS Art teacher, Ms. Marybeth helped students create amazing birds with paint, feathers and mixed media. Then they created beautiful poems by choosing words with their communication devices!

Check out this NEW program at WTHS!!! It is open to Juniors and Seniors (and we are adding Sophomores in) and it is a one-year program. Students can still take band or chorus, because this program will be offered in the morning and afternoon! However, this program is NOT just for music students. If they aren't currently in band or chorus, that is okay! There are still many opportunities for learning music, editing, videography, mixing, and other tech aspects! They will also get Premiere Pro and AVID certified while in the program!
Email Tamara Mills (TJMills@worcesterk12.org) or Erica Hensley (EEHensley@worcesterk12.org) if your student is interested!!
