We’re so proud of our talented musicians from Dr. Leroy McCloud Elementary School! Four amazing students—Kirsten Abby Navarro, Mia Miller, Joshua Bautista, and Makayla Frazier—were selected for the 2025 Region I Elementary Honor Band. This is a huge honor, as only about 100 students per grade are chosen from all over northern New Jersey!
This past Saturday, they joined other top young musicians for a full day of rehearsal with music educators from across the state—and then gave an incredible performance for their families that same afternoon!
Their talent, hard work, and love for music truly shined. This unforgettable experience shows the power of music education—it builds creativity, confidence, teamwork, and so much more.
👏 Huge congratulations to Kirsten, Mia, Joshua, and Makayla—you’ve made the entire McCloud and EPSD community so proud!
