Bucksport students to present work generated by yearlong senior citizen project

Bucksport Middle School students have been involved in a year long thematic, project-based approach to learning called  “Generational Snapshots of the Past: A Focus on Community Unity”. Senior citizens from the community were invited to the school this week to be part of the culmination. Read about the music, art, and research students did in the Bangor Daily News article June 15th, by clicking here.

DaPonte String Quartet

Great opportunity

The DaPonte String Quartet has a FREE music education program available to all schools, all age groups, aligned with the Maine Learning Results. The programs can be a half hour to one hour long, for a classroom or a larger auditorium with multiple grades. The four musicians introduce the instruments of a classical string quartet, play a variety of composers from different centuries and countries, and tie the music into interdisciplinary aspects, such as history, geography, and cultural movements.  We are available to schools in the proximity of Portland  to Waldoboro, and inland to Lewiston-Auburn, and are taking first requests for the weeks of Jan. 23-26 and Jan. 30 -Feb. 2, 2012.  Contact: Kirsten Monke, kirviola@yahoo.com or 841-3160.
