I'm not a musically inclined person, but am trying my best!\r\nBecause of my PE background I've tried to make it move music movement. With your amazing donation I was able to conduct what I call \"PUSIC\". This is PE and music together. Fitness drumming has become very popular and delivers a great work out with also having the benefits of music. Last week was my first PUSIC lesson and it went great! The principal came into the room and said \"Coach Hallett...you never cease to amaze me\". She was so happy to see the students having music and PE together. They had smiles on their faces and were totally engaged in the activity.

I have also decorated the outside of my door which adds to the school's ambience and makes my room more inviting. I have received several comments from the staff too as they are enjoying the new decor.\r\nI'm enjoying the new school so much.
