A Note from Our Steel Drum Instructor
Please see the note below from resident artist Kevin Martin, who taught steel drums to students in grades K-8 last month. It was included in the late edition of last week's Note.
Brian,
I wanted to let you know how much I enjoyed the week at St. John the Baptist.
I love everything I saw about how you run your school. The first thing I noticed was how well the teaching staff worked together and had each others backs... working to create a schedule where we could fit in as many workshops as we could. They supported each other and came in to cover each other and worked to help students in every workshop. It made such a difference... every teacher without exception dove into the project and floated around the room helping students who needed a little extra... You can feel when the administration and the teachers are in sync and that was so evident at your school.
The students were several years above their grade level in social skills... in helping each other... On the second day I told them that to be a great band we needed to keep our eyes on the students on each side of their pans and to help each other... to be willing to show the person next to you how to play the song... or even harder to ask the person next to you to show you how to play a phrase if you were struggling...
They all did and it amazed me... I don't know what you are doing to create this environment but I am amazed.... Thank you for letting me see education happening is such a calm and consistent way... I would be happy to come work with you guys anytime and like I said... I will be telling people about your amazing school as I travel the state...
Best,
Kevin Martin
I hope Mr. Martin's note makes you feel as proud of your children as it makes us.
