1st graders used erasers to practice mallet technique and then used barred instruments to practice steady beat! WEES_Eagles #eaglessoar #WEmusic

Had a meeting before school, after school, and had to be somewhere at 7, which gave me just enough time to start and end my 4-mile run at Fox Hill Elementary after my afternoon meeting. #IRunNKCSchools

Trying to order a cap and gown for a Staley High School senior, and the website is blocked! Please help, NKCHelpDesk

A student just told me that choir starts in 8 days. This is the same student who told me yesterday that choir starts in 9 days. I love that he’s so excited for choir to start! WEES_Eagles #WEmusic #EaglesSoar

PSA: If you have a red light, look BOTH ways before you turn right! A lady almost hit me at 96th St and Flintlock yesterday because she turned right without looking. The ONLY reason she didn’t hit me is because I thought she might not look and ran into the street when I crossed.

Any chance of getting signage, a crosswalk, flashing lights…anything to keep walkers, runners & bikers safe @ 96th St & Flintlock? I was safer when I crossed 152 (65 mph speed limit) than I was when I crossed Flintlock. Mayor Quinton Lucas Office of Sen. Lauren Arthur Jason Withington

Kindergarten students LOVED the drum circle in music today! WEES_Eagles #WEmusic #EaglesSoar

We had a fabulous first day of choir! Thanks to their adults for getting these students to school early. Looking forward to more singing next week!!! WEES_Eagles #WEmusic #EaglesSoar

This class earned 7 Eagles in music, which means they’ve earned an Eagle in every music class this year! For their fun musical activity, they chose Let’s Go Swimming by Laurie Berkner👹🐝🦖 🏳️‍🌈 (she/her). Look how much fun they had! WEES_Eagles #WEmusic #EaglesSoar

Fall is making it’s presence known!

More fall colors in KC.

We’re getting ready for our field trip to the Kansas City Symphony This was a student’s response while listening to Wagner’s Lohengrin today. So much introspection for a 4th grader! WEES_Eagles #WEmusic #EaglesSoar

I was working on lesson plans when I heard kids singing “Apple Tree” at recess. I LOVE that they love what we do in music so much that they sing/play music songs during recess! WEES_Eagles #WEmusic #EaglesSoar

Good Life Halfsy done! Now I can check Nebraska off my half marathon list! Good Life Halfsy

Ready to cheer on KC Current - x tonight! #CurrentRising #TealRising

Went for a 10K run and discovered that large portions of sidewalks on Troost, across from Clardy Elementary and Oak Park High School had been repaired. Thank you, Kansas City Michael J. Shaw! My run was better because of this!!!

Here’s my latest piano cover - Let It Be by the Beatles #pianowithkristel #thebeatles #letitbe youtu.be/yxoqdRyP7tU

This is the same workout. After I added the weights and exercises, some of the red and yellow muscles changed. Any idea why Garmin Fitness???

Thank you. Kansas City KC Parks & Rec Dept. for the new crosswalk at the David Macklenburg Trailhead. Loved the access to the new trail south of 152!
