Flute students in grades 6-12 had the opportunity to hear a professional Flute player, Emily Hutchinson, play different flutes found throughout musical time periods, from Baroque to Contemporary, this afternoon. Music on the Delaware offered this wonderful experience for these students and we are thankful we could take part.
DCS was thrilled to welcome Patty Lacey and Tish Drumm (Eck), two of our very own DCS Alumni, who graciously shared their published masterpiece, "Who Sees Who at the Zoo”. They read their book to our PreK-3rd grade students and answered questions the students had. Not only did they captivate our young minds with their storytelling and illustrations, but they also generously donated a signed copy of their book to our library. 📚
