Becky Parnoff and her 1st grade music students at Tokeneke participated in a virtual Q&A with Master Sergeant Eric Sabo, a bassist with the "The President's Own" United States Marine Band.  To prepare for the session, Mrs. Parnoff developed a series of lessons using videos provided by the Marine Band and the students wrote questions to ask MSgt Sabo.  The students in that class were virtual that day, so all students participated via Zoom.  MSgt Sabo said this was the youngest class with whom he had ever worked!  Congratulations to Mrs. Parnoff and the students in Ms. Elaides 1st grade class for your great work!
