Elon Elementary students were treated to a toe-tapping performance today thanks to the talented Western Alamance High School Jazz Band! 🎷🥁 The musicians played jazzy renditions of holiday classics that had the whole gym clapping and singing along. 👏
Band director Michael Jefferson introduced the high schoolers and their instruments, giving the Elon students an idea of each one's role and sound. Perhaps we'll see some of them take up the saxophone, trumpet, trombone, or other instruments when they reach middle school! 🎺
We're grateful to Mr. Jefferson and the WA Jazz Band for the fantastic performance! 🎄❤️
🚨 Emergency crews and vehicles 🚨 visited Elon, and students were able to explore and learn about the emergency response teams. #PhoenixTakeFlight

First graders at Elon Elementary went on a global "field trip" to South Africa today! 🇿🇦
🛫 Students boarded a pretend flight with Capt. Principal Dr. Davern as their pilot. He kept the plane steady as they enjoyed in-flight snacks and facepaint before "landing" and heading out on a safari at Kruger National Park, where they learned about local wildlife!
🛍️ After traveling to some other destinations, they sampled local treats and visited a "gift shop" with some cool souvenirs!
✨ This memorable trip was made possible by our wonderful Participate Learning teacher Mrs. Haripershad, and other school staff, who helped plan and add to the experience.
📚 Now students are creating a picture book about what they learned. An unforgettable educational adventure!
