Why should you participate?  Prizes of course.  Multiple prizes will be given out in each grade, some randomly for correctness and others just for participating.

Song of the Week Update

 

Mrs. Rickel’s homeroom continues to hold on to the top position in the 5th Grade. Following closely behind are Ms. Houghton and Mr. Mattison. 

 

In 6th Grade, Mrs. Loukissas’s homeroom continues to battle for the school leadership and holds a slim lead over Mr. Broadhead.

 

Ms. Wilson has managed to create a small gap over the rest of the 7th Grade and is still in the hunt for the top spot in the school.

 

Mrs. Tyrell’s lead in 8th grade is down to one point over Mr. Ferris and everyone should be worried now that powerhouse Mrs. Baker has returned.

 

Mr. Boukalik has pulled clear from the rest of the competition to take sole possession of the school leadership.  However with only a one point advantage over Mrs. Loukissas, there is no room to falter.

 

Remember – every correct Artist you submit is worth 1 point, every correct Title is worth 1 point, and winners of the week are drawn at random from all entries.
