World Down Syndrome Day

What is World Down Syndrome Day?

World Down Syndrome Day is on 21 March every year. It is a global awareness day which has been officially observed by the United Nations since 2012. The goal is to help people understand and support those with Down syndrome better.

The date being the 21st day of the 3rd month was chosen to represent the triplication (trisomy) of the 21st chromosome which causes Down syndrome.

Penthouse Recording Studios

Our 8th Grade Chorus Classes recently embarked on a fascinating journey into the world of music recording and engineering. This experience was not only educational but also incredibly enjoyable for all the students involved. Each student had the opportunity to participate in a hands-on session, where they explored the various aspects of the music recording process.

Throughout the sessions, students learned about the different techniques used in music production, including sound mixing, editing, and mastering. They engaged with professionals in the field, gaining insights into the tools and technology that make music recording possible. This exposure allowed them to appreciate the artistry behind their favorite songs and understand the effort that goes into producing high-quality music.

The chorus members were enthusiastic and eager to learn, asking questions and experimenting with different recording methods. The experience fostered teamwork and creativity, as students collaborated to create their own recordings. By the end of the sessions, they not only developed new skills but also a deeper appreciation for the music they love.

What a great day 803, 805, and 811!
