Under the guidance of our music teacher, Mrs. Meyer, our 1st, 2nd, 3rd, and 4th graders participated in grade level sing alongs throughout our morning. The students sang songs with a fall theme and performed some music activities they do during class. Many families attended our event and it was a great hit! We wish everyone a healthy and HAPPY THANKSGIVING.
