The Morningside University School of Visual and Performing Arts held their annual All-State Choral Camp Aug. 3-5 in Eppley Auditorium. SBL had four high school vocalists participate in the camp: Izzy Carrell, Jax Sedgwick, Roxy Dean & LeOra Murdock.

At this camp, the students had the opportunity to learn the Iowa All-State Chorus repertoire of music and had fun doing it! The camp concert was conducted by Dr. Paul von Kampen, the new director of choral activities at Morningside University.

The students will be auditioning in October for a chance to be accepted into the Iowa All-State Chorus. Good luck to them!!

Visit the school nurse page at https://sites.google.com/a/sblschools.com/nurse/home, click on your student's school building (found in the upper right-hand corner of the page), and follow the instructions there. Questions? Contact the building RN directly.

bond issue
What can happen when students are trusted to lead? This year, SBL students managed more than $95,000 in revenue through three student-run businesses: Spirit Spot Coffee Shop, Warrior Concessions, and Warrior Manufacturing.

Along the way, they developed valuable skills in customer service, budgeting, marketing, production, inventory management, and problem-solving. Warrior Enterprises gives students the chance to learn by doing, building confidence, responsibility, and career-ready experience before they graduate.
