ACES treated to Unity in Strength classes. Unity in Strength was the theme of a week of creativity and learning about the arts, writing, and music at Adair County Elementary School. This story includes names of many participants and their photo(s) Click on headline for complete story with photo(s) By Paula Bault News from Adair County Elementary School Early Monday morning of March 26, 2012, Adair County Elementary students helped Gregory Acker, the visiting artist, unpack a week of fun and learning. Mr. Acker was inspired by the arts and culture of West Africa after living there as a Peace Corps volunteer, and later studying with master drummer Abraham Adzenyah of Ghana. Gregory Acker has devoted himself to making African-style instruments and teaching music and related West African arts. Students in Mrs. Lisa Godsey's, Mrs. Denessa McCann, Mrs. Amy Walker's and Mrs. Missy Garmon's homeroom spent time each day learning African rhythms, techniques for playing djembe drums, folktales, songs, and basic storytelling dance moves. "Unity is Strength" was the theme of the week. Students learned that we all have to work together to succeed. Because of the student's willingness to incorporate unity the week was a huge success. Three of the group did some song writing. "Africa" by Mrs. Denessa McCann's class Elephants and antelopes"African Activities" by Mrs. Missy Garmon's class Dancing, singing"Celebration!" by Mrs. Amy Walker's class Celebration!The big final of the week was a performance of what the students had learned. Friday afternoon our participating students entertained and educated the kindergarten through third grade by demonstrating their new found knowledge.
