MAKING MUSIC WITH MARS: Junior Luke Lozano laughs as he poses for a photo with a wax figure of Bruno Mars at Madame Toussad's Wax Museum — one of the many excursions made on last year's Nashville piano trip. Lozano stated that the day was filled with lots of silly photos posed with the life-like celebrity figures. Photo by Gregory James.

Meet Zoe, Crackerjack, Clementine and Oreo, all of whom have been adopted by McCallum faculty members in the past two weeks. It's part of a nationwide spike in dog adoption as a result of the COVID-19 pandemic. People have more time to take care of and train dogs, and they need the social, emotional and mental health benefits that come from pet ownership. Photos courtesy of the puppies' parents.

DIRECTOR AND NOW MOTHER: Allison Kashdan conducts the varsity choir at the McCallum Choir concert that took place on Oct. 3. That concert was the only one Kashdan conducted before taking her maternity leave to have her daughter, Acadia Kashdan. Kashdan passed the torch to Malcolm Nelson, who conducted the pre-UIL concert weeks before the quarantine shut down the actual UIL competition. Although the choir students are enjoying learning from Nelson, they await reuniting with their director. Sophomore Charlotte Bearse, a varsity choir member, admires Kashdan for the way she treats her students. “She’s such a sweet human being and I love how kind she is to all of her students and I love how she treats everyone,” Bearse said. “I feel like I can respect her and go to her with things.” Photo by Annabel Winter.

A glorious arrival brightens a crazy time for choir
