If you were in attendance at the recent Mosaic Concert held by the Oley Valley High School Music Department, you were treated to an unforgettable evening showcasing remarkable musical talent! Among the captivating performances was a rendition of Lady Gaga's "Bad Romance" by members of the Orchestra, featuring electronic string instruments made possible through a previous OVCEF Education Grant. These instruments have not only enriched the musical experience for students but have also provided them with the unique opportunity to connect with the music they listen to daily. Their versatility allows students to explore a wide range of musical styles and genres, enhancing their performance capabilities in various concert settings. Moreover, the electronic string instruments offer distinctive sound that can project above large groups, ensuring that students' talents are heard and appreciated by all. By incorporating these innovative instruments into their repertoire, students have gained valuable insights into the differences between traditional and electric string instruments, broadening their understanding and appreciation of music as a whole.

Last week we had the pleasure of presenting our bus drivers with a Dunkin' Donuts gift card as a token of our appreciation at their Bus Driver Appreciation Breakfast. It was a small gesture, but carries immense appreciation for their hard work, commitment, and the invaluable service they provide day in and day out. We recognize and appreciate all they do to ensure safe transportation for our students. It was our way of saying thank you for their dedication to a job well done.
