Discover the joy of music in Plugged In's Music Sampler class! Each day brings a brand-new musical adventure as students explore different ways to make and experience music. From energizing drum circles and creative songwriting to instrument show-and-tell and interactive music games, participants will sing, play, move, and create while building confidence and curiosity. Perfect for curious musicians of all levels, this sampler is a fun, hands-on introduction to the many ways music comes to life.

NCE begins immediately at the end of the school day. All students enrolled in an NCE class (including those in NEDP) will be dismissed from their classroom to the designated NCE waiting area, where they will be supervised by the NCE Onsite Coordinator until their NCE Class Instructor arrives. Students are welcome to have a nut-free snack during this time.
Pickup is promptly at 4:00pm. NEDP students will be escorted to NEDP at the end of their NCE class.
