MARK YOUR CALENDARS!!! On Friday, April 30th at 6pm, the 6th Grade, JH, HS, and Jazz Bands will be giving an outdoor concert on the soccer field... this is our first concert since February 2020... and we'd love to see everyone there (with masks and distancing, of course!). In preparation for our concert and virtual band festival, the JH and HS Bands had a clinic with West Shore Community College's Director of Performing Arts, Professor Ted Malt! It was a blast to work with someone new and make some music together... this is the first of many clinics with music professionals over the next month and we're so fortunate to be able to work with so many amazing people! Thanks, Professor Malt!

7th grade artists collaborated today with 3rd grade partners via Google Meet on a dice drawing game that they created!

On Tuesday, February 23rd, 2021, the HS Jazz Band welcomed Mr. Colin Rensch to join us in a conversation about writing music! Mr. Rensch holds degrees in music and history and is currently completing coursework at the University of Illinois to receive a doctorate in musicology (the study of music history... and all things music!). HS Jazz Band students had been working on a composition project for most of the month of February, during which time they wrote a 12-bar instrumental blues. Mr. Rensch spoke with students about his own compositional process as a jazz composer and arranger... and the importance of listening in jazz! Thank you, Mr. Rensch!

Dear Pentwater Family and Friends, This afternoon we were made aware of a suspicious vehicle and interaction with one of the Mason County Central Elementary Students while walking home from school yesterday, March 4th. They are working with local law enforcement to investigate this matter and are asking that for our help to keep a watchful eye out for our community's children. It truly takes a village to raise our children and it is all of our responsibility to help keep them safe. If you should see any suspicious activity, do not hesitate to report it to law enforcement and/or the school. We will work together to check into it. Thank you for your help.
