New Track/Walking path

Construction on the Mountain School Walk/Run Path will begin Monday, April 5th, and be completed
by Friday, April 9th…the week of Spring Break 2021. This new track will run the perimeter of the eld on
Mountain's campus and will be used for PE and other school activities. We hope the community will
enjoy it as well.

After several long years working toward this goal, we want to thank Mrs. Hooper and the graduating
class of 2018 Colin Williamson, Destiny Frye, Emily King, and Avery Wiley, for their hard work on this
project.

Hemmingsen Construction Company will be constructing/installing the new track walk/run pathway,
which will be made of decomposed granite, along the inside of the back perimeter fence at Mountain
School beginning Monday, April 5th and completed by Friday, April 9th weather and Last Chance
Grade permitting.

Thanks to Steve Morgan, Facilities Director, for his support on this project and to DNUSD for funding
this much needed addition to Mountain Elementary School.

Green Screen Challenge - If you could go
anywhere...
If you could go anywhere on a eld trip, where would you go? Students
and staff will be using green screen technology to answer that question.
Look for our fun posts on Facebook and Instagram. In the picture at left,

Music Fun Facts from Mrs. Clensay-Clark
In preparation for St. Patrick’s Day on March 17, here are some fun facts about Irish music:

     The Irish value their music so much that an Irish harp is pictured on their euro coins.
     The Irish harp was played as long ago as the 10th century.
     The tin whistle was an inexpensive instrument produced by the Clarke company in Manchester,
     England. Irish schoolchildren learn the basics of playing this simple instrument like American
     schoolchildren learn the soprano recorder.
     The bodhrán is the traditional Irish frame drum, which has had a resurgence in popularity since
     the 1960s.
     The four-string tenor banjo is now fully accepted in Irish folk music, but this instrument actually
     originated with African slaves in the United States and was brought back to Ireland by returning
     emigrants.
     In Irish stepdance, dancers keep their upper bodies stiff while doing intricate footwork.
     Riverdance, featuring Irish music and dance, was rst performed during the 1994 Eurovision
     Song Contest. It was so popular that an entire show was built around that act.
     The top ve biggest selling Irish acts of all time are U2, Enya, Van Morrison, The Cranberries,
     and Westlife.
