Happy to report that the four-legged musician we hired for the Dove Gloria last year will be joining us again this Easter Sunday. He has great rhythm! 😃 (Listen here: https://www.youtube.com/live/xYtnDXsAqKw?t=1591&si=_ms_F-a91QtMWBAl)

We are so grateful for the Singing Girls of Texas (with director Jackson Hill) for sharing their awesome artistry this past Sunday at the 11:00a service. Here is a link to their fantastic anthem, "My God is a rock." Come back anytime, y'all! More music is at the very beginning of the livestream, too.

Forgive the non-Lenten post, but we just had to show off the stunning sound of the Harvard University Choir and our Senior Choristers (6-8th grade) singing Jonathan Dove's Gloria (from his Missa brevis) a couple of weeks ago in Harvard Memorial Church. If you can't drink coffee late in the day, have a listen! Many thanks to Associate Director of Music David von Behren for sharing this video.

Proud of these three boys, who are also choristers! How do you spell "ramshackle" in music notation... anyone? 😉

Three of our fourth graders are headed to the next stage of the Scripps National Spelling Bee.

Competing in our school bee, these students tackled challengers like serape and plaited to reach the final round. They then spelled their way to the top with ramshackle, ominous, and dimensional. After winter break, they will take the qualifying test here at school in hopes of advancing to the Regional Bee on March 29 in San Ramon.

We are so proud of their focus, courage, and love of language. Let’s wish them the best as they prepare for the next round. Go Hawks!

The 6-8 grade choristers jetted to Boston for the weekend, and sang this morning at the Harvard Memorial Church, along with a choral session with the Harvard choir's director. Meanwhile, our 4th and 5th graders held down the fort this morning at Grace Cathedral with aplomb.
