Alex & the Kaleidoscope Rocks Ithan Elementary School During Weeklong Residency

Ithan Elementary School students were all smiles as Alex & the Kaleidoscope rocked the school's cafetorium during two assemblies, one for K-2 students and one for grades 3-5, on December 13. The performances were the culminating event in a weeklong residency with the interactive music entertainment brand.

Throughout the week, students in grades 3-5 participated in activities led by the band's frontman Alex Mitnick during regularly scheduled music and library classes. The visits included singing, dancing, storytelling, musical games and more, ultimately preparing the students for the final Friday performance with Alex and the members of his band, Alex & the Kaleidoscope. Fourth-grade students also had hands-on experience composing and performing an original song.

"Alex & the Kaleidoscope encourages and inspires kids to celebrate and learn through the power of songs, fun facts and adventures to interesting places around the world," states the group's website. 

This visit was sponsored by the Cultural Arts Committee of the Ithan Elementary School parent-teacher organization and the Radnor Educational Foundation.
