Winter Concert

Congratulations to our 4th Grade Choir and our 5th and 6th grade choir for a very pleasant and fun concert on Wednesday, January 25th.  Our students did an awesome job.  Each group sang separately and then sang a song together. They were prepared and poised with big smiles on their faces!  The audience gave a standing ovation in recognition of their hard work.  Special congratulations to Rachel Tanguay who created a powerful power point show in remembrance of The Oklahoma City bombing to accompany one of their songs.  It was a very impressive slide show that she created all on her own initiative. 

Students Make Desserts in Art Class

7th graders created appealing desserts from clay in art class.  Popular desserts include: ice cream, cannolis, brownies, pies, cakes, cookies and many more options are on display in the hallway.  Complimenting the clay work are drawings of similar desserts!  The display might make one hungry for something sweet while walking by!  Nice work students!
