✨ Shout Out Time! ✨ Today, we celebrate the amazing Mrs. Madi Osman! 🎉 A fellow staff member had this to say,
“Mrs. Osman is a fantastic music educator. She goes above and beyond to make sure our elementary students have a well-rounded, quality music education through a balance of playing recorders and percussion instruments, singing, dancing, and opportunities to partner with the high school band and choir. Her concerts are AMAZING, and she finds ways to make music fun for all of her students. We are so lucky to have Mrs. Osman!”
