Dear Students & Parents,

This month is all about showing our family & loved ones just how much we appreciate them! Please note that the school will remain open for the Family Day weekend,
however we will be closed Monday, February 17th.

Attention Junior Original Composition Students!
Registration begins February 10th!
Please look out for an email coming soon with details & forms attached. These should be Emailed to the front desk via: info@88keys.ca

Let’s find out what we can accomplish together!
Our next school-wide challenge begins on Saturday, February 1! This challenge will run for 12 weeks, and throughout these 12 weeks we will be focusing on TEAMWORK! The rules are very simple. For each week, your classroom teacher will award maximum of 10 points to your class based on:

  • Homework completion.
  • Overall class participation and engagement.
  • Effort invested into playing and singing together as a group (like there is only ONE PIANO PLAYER in the room!)
  • Overall progress week after week.
  • Parent participation/engagement during class. (Parents should participate too!)

To receive 10 points, your class must show excellent progress from week to week. Teachers will also be permitted to award up to 5 BONUS POINTS throughout the challenge for weeks where classes show EXCEPTIONAL progress.

Classes that earn 100+ points before the end of the challenge will be treated to peanut and tree nut-free cupcakes at the end of the challenge!


Individual students are also welcome to participate in The One Piano Player Challenge! Please ask your teacher about the modified challenge rules!
