Congratulations to the members of the 2018-2019 Perry Symphonic Winds for being selected to perform at the 2019 OMEA State Conference.  This event is attended by nearly every music educator in the state, college music professors, and professional musicians.  In order to be considered, groups must audition by submitting a recording. This year, 120 collegiate, professional, and high school groups applied to perform.  The Perry Symphonic Winds were one of only a handful of groups to be selected. This year, the conference will be held January 31st-February 2nd at the Cleveland Convention Center. A special thank you to the senior class of 2018 for helping us achieve this accomplishment.

Today’s students are digital natives and this is how they learn, how they communicate, and how they solve problems. The presence of technology in the lives of our students in undeniable. It’s time to bring that technology into the classroom every single day.  This is education in the 21st century. The focus of the One2One program in the Perry Local Schools is to provide tools and resources for the 21st century learner.  Excellence in education requires that technology be seamlessly integrated throughout the educational curricula. Increased access to technology is essential to build upon college and career readiness skills. The individual use of Chromebooks in the classroom is a way to create a personalized learning environment that fosters collaboration, creativity, communication, and critical thinking for all learners.   (more…)
