a word from Mr. Sayre...

Hello, Eagles!

We had an incredible Albuquerque/UNM Jazz Festival last week! A huge thank you to all of our student volunteers, parent volunteers, and guest artists who helped make this event such a great success. This was the biggest Jazz Fest we’ve ever hosted, and I heard from countless directors and guests about how helpful and courteous our students were throughout the event. You represented our program with excellence!

I hope you all took advantage of the long weekend to get some much-needed rest because we have another exciting week ahead.
