Love seeing former choir members who are now teaching rocking it in the world!
OkCDA Southwest Region Rep Brittni Bilyeu has chosen Sarah Pitts, Director at Marlow Public Schools as her region spotlight! Brittni shares: "In my past four years in "secondary-land", I have seen Sarah work continually to better herself as an educator, invest in the teachers around her, and advocate for her students/program. Sarah is a testament that good things take time and that there is power is perseverance."
When asked what makes her proud of her program and students, Sarah shared:
"We have been through a lot in Marlow over the last 8 years that I have been the director. Through these transitions of the pandemic, new band and elementary music teachers, the tearing down of the old auditorium, the rebuilding of our new PAC my students have persevered and continued to do wonderful things. Despite having some setbacks, we have many SWOK All-Region members, OkCDA and OkMEA All-Staters, received Superiors at the district and the state level, had students make and attend SWACA Honor Choirs and OAKE Honor Choirs. It can be tough for students to wait, and some never got the new building or all the awards. But my students have pushed through and proven that even in the most ideal situations you can still be successful and make beautiful music! I could not be more proud of them! We are so happy to have been rewarded in our efforts with our beautiful new PAC! These students have the pride of knowing they are the reason we have our beautiful new space and a program that keeps growing!"
So thankful for the work of Sarah Pitts and the students in the Marlow Choirs! ⭐
