Keion's middle school had their district Orchestra Festival (competition) yesterday. They played outstanding and got a top rating of Superior. The school's band and chorus had also received ratings of Superior at their district festivals. Thus for the first time the school had all of its Performing Arts groups rate Superior. This means the school has earned the distinction of being named a Blue Ribbon school. Keion had given his orchestra classmates a pep talk in the days before the competition telling them they needed to get a Superior rating so that the school could get the blue ribbon honor for the first time ever, and they did it.
The boys had artwork entered in a Childrens' Art Show this week. They did not place but it was a good experience. They got Honorable Mention ribbons. Mr. Competitive Kendrick did not want to leave the show without his ribbon. The boys had wanted to stop art classes, but after seeing the other art and not placing. Kendrick announced that he wants to continue so that he can come in first place next year. Here is the boys with their artwork. The SpongeBob and Popeye drawings are Kendrick's, and the Joker and drawing of the man are Keion's.
I am a little behind in my updates this week, so please see below for another post.
