Hello all,

I am Erik Childers and I will be student teaching with Mrs. Hjelm through this April. I go to GVSU and study Vocal/Choral Education with a minor in Piano. I am really looking forward to working with such bright students and energetic personalities - I feel we will make this a great experience for all of us.

I originate from the Muskegon area, but have been living in the Grand Rapids area for about 5 years now. I am still getting acquainted with the area - so, please introduce yourself if you ever get the chance. I am excited to get to know all of you and make some great music at such a GREAT school.

Mr. Childers
