Through the generous support of our parent community, we have obtained a class set of xylophones/metallophones for the Campus View Music Program! Thank you so much to everyone who helped make this dream a reality!
We offer an extra-curricular group called “Orffestra” on Thursdays during the lunch recess. This group of over one hundred members is made up of students from Grades 3-5 who are interested in playing a variety of instruments in a group setting. We currently have xylophones, ukuleles, piano, string bass, violins, flute and recorders. What a fun group this is!
