Congratulations to our students for their participation in the TMEA (Texas Music Educators Association) Region 23 Auditions - one of the most competitive Regions in the state and perhaps in the country, with students coming from public and private schools from HISD, Katy ISD and Alief ISD.
Approximately 300 students auditioned. Eight string students auditioned from the Village School - Rohith K., Siddhartha S., Jerry H., Rhea S., and Jeffrey Z. playing the Violin and Josue F playing the Double Bass
Two students made the top Symphony Orchestra and one made Philharmonia Orchestra:
Rohith K. - Senior and 4 year Region Player
Siddhartha S. - Senior and 4 year Region Player
Jerry H. is a sophomore and this is his second time earning a chair in Region.
Josue, Rhea and Jeffrey played in front of judges and a room full of 80+ students - not an easy task for anyone. They did a fabulous job and worked very hard to prepare. This was a great learning experience for all of our students.
All students, who auditioned are eligible to try for the Area Elimination Round and recording for All State, which are coming up on October 28, 2016.
Great accomplishments for very hard work!
Every school is home to exceptional individuals dedicated to making a positive impact on their community. Whether it's through class initiatives, service projects, or independent efforts, students are constantly striving to improve the world around them.
At The Village School, these initiatives shine brightly as students embrace opportunities to lead with empathy and purpose. One such example is a project started by Milan Drummond, a 12th grader with a passion for justice and community well-being. Through her initiative, Harmony Highways, Milan is working to improve relations between the public and law enforcement, reflecting both her desire to make a difference and her career aspirations.
During the summer time, vacations, pools, and fun are certainly on children’s minds. However, it’s also important to incorporate learning into their day. Summer learning loss, also known as the "summer slide," refers to the decline in academic and social skills that can occur when children are not engaged in educational activities during the summer months. Dana Sheridan, LPC, Lower School Counselor at The Village School, sheds light on this issue and offers practical solutions for parents to keep their children's minds active during the long summer break.
