It was a great honor and privilege to start off this year by having internationally renowned musician Carlos Nuñez perform at our school assembly. Nuñez introduced the students to the traditional bagpipe music from the Galicia region of Spain. He also talked about his background and the various instruments he plays, including the traditional Galician bagpipe, Galician flute, ocarina, Irish flute, whistle and low whistle. Señor Nuñez was brought to us by The Consulate of Spain, he delighted the students with a few musical numbers and called volunteers up to stage to help him in the performance. Towards the end, the kids were even playing instruments and dancing to the two-step rhythm. The crowd connected with the artist and couldn't had have a better time that morning.

Pledges due by October 20
