Our First RocMusic Star is Jeter Castro Jeter Castro is our first RocMusic

Star and was awarded his RocMusic

wristband on January 23rd.

RocMusic students work on self-paced

worksheets during snack time. These

worksheets help the students learn

to read and write music. Each time

a student receives an “excellent” on

a worksheet, a star is placed by the

students’ name on our RocMusic

Star Chart.

Students are also required to

perform 3 singing or playing solos

and 3 music reading solos during

each RocMusic Star cycle. Jeter
