Winter Concert 
~Season of Light~

The 4th and 5th grade band and chorus classes showed off their musical talents this week in a stunning musical performance called The Season of Light!  Dressed in festive holiday outfits, the students played a variety of instruments including violins and cellos, and sang their hearts out to a packed auditorium of both classmates and families alike!  Their enthusiasm and talents, led by our dedicated music and band teachers, never cease to amaze me!
