Yesterday was a very sad and difficult day for many people in the CUSD. Brandon Johnson, the El Roble instrumental teacher, as well as beginning band teacher in the elementary schools, was called from the reserves to active duty as Army Chaplain at Fort Hood.
In the five years that Brandon has been with us, he has grown the El Roble music program, brought great innovations to the elementary program, given us great friendship with grace, humility and humor. In January 2011 he was honored in the school district for Spotlight on Excellence. Although he had many, many things on his plate, I never once heard him complain, but always framed everything in the most positive light.
You can read his farewell letter to the community here.
The EIMP music staff had a farewell lunch for Brandon yesterday, just hours before his family started driving east to Texas for their next life adventure. Here are a few photos from the luncheon.
