Music Monday
Music Monday is the first Monday in May and it is a special day across Canada to celebrate the importance of music in our hearts and community. Every year we do a big assembly at Brentwood Park and this year things are different. The music teachers have created messages for their students and there is a special one from me to you in the slideshow below.
Below is the theme song for this year’s music monday and it features Mr. Maroney playing the banjo and myself singing. Some of you may be familiar with the tune already. Sadly, we haven’t had time to work on it at all this year because of COVID19. Check out the video to see Mr. Maroney’s awesome banjo playing.
