December 5 Updates
Updated: Dec 7, 2022
AMAZING job, Varsity Choir Students for your performance in the parade! You represented us well and sang so beautifully! I loved seeing our audience light up when they heard our voices, recognized the song, and even started to sing along. I've received countless compliments from teachers, students and parents. Way to go!
Great job to the middle school students who participated in Region on Saturday! I am so proud of all of the time and hard work you put in! I also know that we all have a clear idea of how we can perform better next year.
