Nashwauk-Keewatin

Teacher's Secret Day of the Week Monday: Anything But A Cup!

Former country music radio personality and Nashville record label executive, Tom Baldrica, paid a visit to NK today to spend the morning with our 6th grade general music class, Symphonic Band and Spartan Band. Tom began his musical career at Nashwauk-Keewatin Schools in 5th grade playing trumpet. He shared about his time on the radio, his experiences in Nashville, and how the path to achieve your dreams in life starts by building connections with the people around you and being the best person you can be. He says if you do those two things, your dreams will come to you. Thank you, Tom, for giving the music students at NK an exciting day, and for sharing your inspirational message and stories with us!
