The "House Band" led my teacher Matthew King, rocks out with a Prince/Michael Jackson tribute set to wind up the Paideia showcase. Time was short so they cut the first three songs but they had people dancing in the aisles.

Paideia is a three-week January Intersession during which students take a break from academics and pursue all kinds of projects and studies. This year's classes included: creative song-writing, movie-making, digital photography, monologues, greenhouse building, small building design, strategy gaming, rock-climbing, social justice film-making, and of course, the house band.

PVPA is the Pioneer Valley Performing Arts Charter Public School in South Hadley, MA. A 400 student public charter school for grades 7-12.
