Music Concert

The fall music concert for 3rd-5th grade students will take place on Tuesday, November 18 at 6:00 at the performing arts center at the high school. Students should arrive by 5:45. I can't wait to see the students shine on stage with their musical talents!

To lift the spirits in the community, Mrs. Foulk will be taking the 5th grade students to sing holiday songs at a local nursing home in December. All grade levels will also be participating in the annual sing along in the gym before the holiday parties on December 19. We hope you will be able to join us to celebrate!
