Our Elementary All City Choir members and teachers truly deserve a resounding round of applause! ๐
The choir comprises 111 students from 4th and 5th grades, representing four schools: Goshen Creek, Reno, Springtown Elementary, and Springtown Intermediate School. These dedicated students spent their day at a clinic and then performed on the stage at Springtown High School that evening. We are incredibly grateful for their unwavering dedication, the supportive parents, and our exceptional elementary music teachers who made this opportunity possible. This experience not only deepened their love for music but also inspired them to pursue it further. ๐
โจ We extend our heartfelt appreciation to everyone involved in supporting and nurturing our studentsโ passion for music.
