Been a fan of Grammy nominated @ChristylezBacon for years. He is such a talented musician, artist, storyteller, and human beat-box extraordinaire. Overjoyed he shared his brilliance of blending hip hop with a variety of musical genres with students @JamestownAPS. They loved it.

We had a wonderful performance by the amazingly talented @ChristylezBacon yesterday! So informative, fun, and interactive. Our students loved it! @monicaroache was grooving the whole time! @JamestownAPS @APSArts

We had an incredible performer today who not only shared his incredible talent, but also inspired us all to “unlock our own superpower.” Students loved learning about the human beatbox and Chris’ musical journey. Thanks for bringing your talent to Jamestown! @ChristylezBacon

"Laughing, singing, all the way, oh come and join the fun!" Winter Troika Ride, the combined 5th grade piece, was a hit! @JamestownAPS @McTavishChorus @APSArts

Bravo, bravo, bravo!! 🎶💙 @APSArts

So PROUD of our 10 @JamestownAPS 5th graders who performed at the @APSArts choral pyramid concert! It was a beautiful concert by all involved! Bravo, @McTavishChorus @YorktownChoirs and all other APS schools! @McCarthyM_JES @monicaroache

Halloween was nothing less than amazing! Students and staff showed their style & creativity with their costumes. Our community came out to cheer us on during the parade. Many thanks to our staff and parent volunteers for making this day a huge success.A fun time was had by all!🎃

Our favorite part about music PD is catching up with colleagues! Enjoying the Alma Thomas exhibit, her connections to music, and the Musical Thinking exhibit! @APSArts @APSFleetMusic @AmericanArt 🎶🎨

"I'll be your friend... I'll help you carry on!" "Lean on Me" was a great song to start our @JamestownAPS chorus year! @raifel_faison @APSArts #APSArtsAmazing
