Hello Blanchard 5th and 6th grade families,
Ensemble Enrichment Block is a one hour block each Wednesday where students come together for a meaningful community performing arts experience. It is about using performance to connect with peers in different classes and grades, while working towards common goals. Theater and Music are the vehicles we use to build our community, promote emotional intelligence, and engage in authentic artistic expression.
