After reading the story “BROWN ONIONS” which opens with a cool tale about a song about onions (“GREEN ONIONS” by BOOKER T & the MGs), Mrs. Baker brought in her bass guitar and PLAYED “Green Onions” for our class. And since the story talked about eating WEIRD foods like anchovies with sauerkraut, we did just that—we sampled ANCHOVIES and SAUERKRAUT 🤪
The 6th Grade Band got to experience the Virginia International Tattoo, hosted by the Virginia Arts Festival and sponsored by NATO. Great music and a great display of commraderie and strength among nations!
