Sunset Swing at the Wheaton Public Library was a rousing success! The Monroe Jazz Band got together with the Hadley Jazz Ensemble and Glen Ellyn Jazz Ensemble for a wonderful concert in Adams Park.

On Saturday, the 8th Grade Symphonic Band performed at the IGSMA State Band Festival at New Trier High School in Winnetka and earned a Superior rating!

Sixth graders in Mrs. Croll’s Foundations class held a Heritage Food Festival in celebration of finishing IAR testing this year. Students shared food from their own cultures or a culture they admire. Thank you to all the parents who helped their children make or buy food for this festival! It was a huge hit and enjoyed by all!
