May Super Staff Spotlight
Autumn Heath
Here’s another huge shoutout (and maybe even a drumroll) for Ms. Autumn Heath! In just her first year teaching music at Bovill and Deary, she has completely rocked it. Since joining our school family in August, Autumn has made a big splash and brought the joy of music back in a major way.
She kicked things off with an unforgettable Elementary Christmas Concert in December. Students from Bovill and Deary took the stage and wowed the crowd with their lively renditions of classic carols and holiday favorites. Their incredible performance was a testament to Ms. Heath’s talent and passion – it was only the beginning!
Fast forward to last week, and she’s done it again! Ms. Heath pulled off a fantastic combined elementary and secondary Spring Concert. From tiny preschoolers to confident high schoolers, the audience was treated to a musical showcase that truly captured the spirit of what she’s been building. The middle school band – who’ve only been playing since January – blew everyone away. One proud supporter called them, “The best MS Band we have ever had.”
And it’s not just about performances – students are growing musically in leaps and bounds. As one admirer put it, “Ms. Heath has done a phenomenal job with the music program. The Spring Concert highlighted the tremendous growth students have gained in a few short months. The kids are clearly not only singing and dancing but learning great things about music in general.”
We are incredibly lucky to have Ms. Heath as part of the Whitepine Joint SD team. She’s brought back the fun, the energy, and the awesome to our music program. Thank you, Ms. Heath – you’ve reignited our love of music, and we think you are truly GREAT! 🎤
