Kenmoor Middle School, Landover, Maryland
Student Nomination Story
When we were learning to play "The Tempest", Mrs. Casto helped me figure out how to play it faster, get the notes accurate, and with the right tone. It was really important to me to get the music right, because she was excited about our performance. The song was for an assessment and I didn't want to let her down. None of us did. Mrs. Casto said that if we got a really high score on the assessment, she would dye her hair a color that we got to pick. Unfortunately, due to the COVID-19 lockdown, we couldn't participate in the assessment. I was disappointed.
