Des Moines Public Schools were one of 20 high schools around the country to have the Herbie Hancock Institute of Jazz visit their schools last week. The experience teaches high school students about the basics of jazz and its history. Oskaloosa Elementary School is celebrating a grant that will allow them to refresh their non-fiction section. The book refresh and jazz experience are both this week’s Scholastic Spotlight.
