The Orchard Hills Orchestra has been working so hard.  They performed for the school today and they did such a good job!  They told us a little bit about what they have learned and played some songs for us.  They even taught some of their friends how to hold a bow.  Mrs. Drager is the orchestra teacher and she does a fabulous job.  Thank you Mrs. Drager!

Eileen is an amazing teacher and puts her whole heart into her work and students. She is here bright and early every morning and stays late working around the clock to make sure her students are getting the best possible education that she can give them. Eileen is always going above and beyond. Whether it be making stone soup with her students or doing the dang Elf on the Shelf in her class…her kids have something fun to look forward to each day.
