Ramona & the Marimbas

Colonel Wright Elementary’s Ramona Harwood directs the “Marimba Pioneers” in her front yard near the Elementary School on Thursday, May 13. Students Stella Pedersen, Althea Waters, Porter Elledge, Eliza Vaught and Kennith Strunk worked the mallets as she gave direction. Harwood, the school’s music teacher, said the class was the “funnest part of my job.” She had gloves, masks, sanitizer and water for the students. “You gotta do whatever you can to make it work,” she said. Nice job Ramona Harwood! Way to get after it. The marimbas were handcrafted by Peter Bush of Estacada.
