Krump Comes to SHMS During Black History Month
On Friday, February 18, 2022 students at Sleepy Hollow Middle School were treated to a Krump performance by world-renowned dancer Brian “HallowDreamz” Henry and the Krump Collective. The Collective presented a powerful new work that will premiere at Works & Process at the Guggenheim in early 2023. Students had the rare opportunity of witnessing the behind-the-scenes creative process of world class artists, as well as participate in a Q&A following the performance. They even saw a few peers and teachers try their hand at Krumping! At the end of the performance, one Sleepy student said “I felt that in my heart.” The performance was made possible thanks to the generous support of The Pocantico Center of the Rockefeller Brothers Fund.

Teaching Poetry
During the month of April Ms. Martinez’ 8th grade English Language Learners explored poetry for social justice. The class read poems by Alma Flor Ada, George Ella Lyon, Linda Christensen, and Salvadoran poet Roque Dalton. Students learned that poetry can be playful, that it can include everyday language, and it can celebrate and reflect their own roots, their family members, their ancestors, and their communities. Students began to write their own versions of the poem “Where I’m From” and while building their confidence with writing they realized the power of their words and how they can influence others

AUDIO RECORDINGS BY SH ORCHESTRA
This collection of audio recordings by the Sleepy Hollow Middle School Orchestras and the Sleepy Hollow High School Orchestra, represent the hard work and determination of our Sleepy Hollow music students! Rehearsing synchronously with remote and hybrid students has been extremely challenging, but the Orchestra students of Sleepy Hollow have shown that they will not be held back by this Pandemic! Under the direction of Mrs. Brittney Concia (formerly Trenczer), the string students in both the Middle and High School have risen to the occasion! Thank you to the Sleepy Hollow Performing Arts Boosters who funded the creation of these recordings involving the High School and Middle School Orchestras. The string players of both schools submitted individual audio files and Eric Dalton from Eric Dalton Productions put the recordings together. Lastly, thank you to the publishers for granting us permission to record these pieces. Bravo Sleepy Hollow!
