🎶🎤 A Memorable Day of Music and Inspiration! 🎤🎶
Our band scholars had the incredible opportunity to attend an Aiken Performing Arts (APA) Educational Outreach program featuring the world-renowned Sons of Serendip! Scholars were captivated by the group's inspiring performance and enjoyed the unique opportunity to ask questions and engage with the artists. They even joined in singing along during a couple of songs, making the experience even more memorable.
One of the highlights of the day was seeing our very own band and chorus director, Mrs. Owens, play the harp for the very first time!
Following the performance, scholars continued the fun with lunch at Zaxbys, where they shared their excitement about the day's events and reflected on a truly unforgettable experience.
We are grateful for opportunities like these that expose our scholars to the arts, encourage creativity, and inspire a lifelong appreciation for music!
Videos and additional photos are posted on the Jackson STEM Magnet Middle School Facebook page.

We are proud of the way they represented Jackson STEM Magnet Middle School and look forward to seeing their ideas make a positive impact on our school community! #StudentLeadership #JMSPride #FutureLeaders
