The North Carolina Suzuki Association hosted its annual statewide Play-In at Meredith College on September 14th. 12 students from MSR's Lower Elementary program participated and the students enjoyed one Repertoire class and one Music Mind Games class, before performing in a concert with 90 other students from around the state. The last time this event took place in Raleigh was 2018, and we felt honored to be the host city once again. A Play-In is a large get together of students from across studios, instruments, and levels who are all learning Suzuki repertoire. Thank you to all of the students, parents, and faculty who worked so hard to make this day so wonderful!

We want to extend our gratitude to The Montessori School of Raleigh for teaming up with us for this year's spring camp! 🌸 It's been an absolute blast running our Arcade Mania camp with the students. From Ice and Fire Day where we designed lava-proof barns during the Mount Vesuvius eruption to creating our very own Super STEAMio roller coasters with power-ups, we've had an incredible time exploring creativity and innovation together. Throughout the camp, we've raced winter bobsleds, crafted ultimate racing carts, soared with looping gliders, engineered ziplines, played with soft-serve cone slime, and built egg-safe parachutes! 🎢🏎️✈️ Here's to more adventures, more discoveries, and more unforgettable memories ahead! Thank you once again for this fantastic opportunity. 💫 #SpringCampFun #montessoripartnership #steameducation #challengeislandrtp #montessorischoolofraleigh #MSR
