Last Wednesday, August 1, Cate Windelborn and five of her fabulous Monroe Choir students gave a presentation titled “Creating a Community of Kindness in Your Choral Classroom.” Cate was joined by Faith Avritt (2020), Zach Everly (2017), Brenna Hendrix (2019), Maisie Hoppe (2018), and Maddy McCollum (2018). The group spoke to choir teachers from all over the state of Michigan at the 46th annual MSVMA Summer Workshop in Lansing. Their presentation highlighted elements of the Monroe choir program that help to create a community of kindness. Topics discussed included fostering student leadership, choir council, choir buddies, choir camp, and student led groups.

Here is a link to a list of resources for students and families during the summer months, and all year!
