Music in schools

Way back in March, I wrote an article about a Montgomery County music teacher's approach and his plans to get an orchestra going for the kids at Price's Fork.

Cute, huh?

I got started thinking about it today when I realized my plans this summer to cover band camps in the region had flopped. As a former band geek (yay! woodwinds), I thought it would be fun to check out the changing face of camp, especially in the times of minimal music ed and astronomical gas prices.

Alas, there's always next year, but if have a good "One time at band camp ...." story for the year, lay it on me.

What is Show and Tell?

Every body remembers the great ones, teachers or school personnel who took an interest and showed you the cared.

For me, it was Mrs. McClanahan, my 8th--grade English teacher at McKinley Jr. High. She pushed me to follow what I love and start writing for a local teen publication. And, here I am, writing for you.

That's what Show and Tell is about. I want you tell everyone about the great things that your schools' teachers, administrators and students are doing.

Send us comments, pictures or videos and we'll get all the goodies up.

Check back often, and let us know what's going on.

About this blog

Anna Mallory

Welcome to Chalk Dust! This is your community aimed at exploring education in the New River Valley. I'm Anna Mallory. I went to public schools in West Virginia and now I cover PreK-12 education for the Roanoke Times.
I read way too many reports about improving schools and can speak in entire sentences using educational acronyms. I'll be letting you know about issues and events affecting your children, schools and tax dollars, but, more importantly, I want to know what you think. Let me know your opinions about issues in the boardroom, classroom and beyond.
