A Concert for Change

Tipler Middle School choir students, 6th through 8th-grade, will collaborate with the Day by Day Shelter of Oshkosh to provide necessary materials for their residents. The leaders of the Day by Day shelter will come in to Tipler Middle School to provide resources, literacy, and an explanation as to how the shelter operates and how community members can support. This collaboration gives us opportunities to help our larger community as well as develop skills that align with the district's social emotional learning goals. The students will decorate boxes with logos and designs to promote the need for specific items (a list provided by the Day by Day shelter closer to April) at local, cooperating businesses. A choral concert will be the culmination of the entire collaboration. On May 22nd, the Tipler choirs will perform a choral concert entitled "A Journey from Darkness to Light: A Concert for Change" with songs that align with SEL goals, specifically self and community goals. At this concert the Day by Day shelter will be presented with any items and a monetary donation for their time to put towards more needs in the future.
