On today's episode of The School Onederful Show, we are handing the mics over to three of our 5th graders trendsetters and tastemakers: Malay, Julia, and Mia.

These girls don't hold back as they review and rate their favorite (and not-so-favorite) artists. Listen in as they debate Melanie Martinez's music vs. her controversies, rank Twice's discography, and decide if Aurora's "Runaway" is still a vibe in 2026. It's a hilarious, unfiltered, and totally authentic look at what's on the 5th-grade playlist right now.

Welcome to the premiere episode of The School Onederful Show, coming to you live from Vanguard Studios!

In this debut episode, we flip the script on the classroom. Join Mr. G as he sits down with 5th-grade teachers Ms. Simatos and Ms. Pizzarelli, along with student co-hosts Noelle and Edgar. Together, they dive into a unique "backwards design" lesson where the students became the graders.

Listen in to hear how our 5th graders learned to "crack the code" of the Research Simulation Task (RST) by evaluating past essays, discovering why content matters just as much as grammar, and finding their own voices as writers. It’s all about student empowerment at School No. 1!

In this episode:

Hosts: Mr. G, Noelle and Edgar

Special Guests: Ms. Jen Simatos & Ms. Sam Pizzarelli
