Tuesday night, the first graders performed an amazing music program, "The Power of Music and Art." The songs, speakers, kazoo and "wiggling" were so wonderful. Congratulations students, 1st grade teachers and Mrs. Morton! (Congratulations to Gabby - her music collage was featured on the program cover.)
