What’s new at school?
Welcome back to the choir program! We have been so happy to reconnect with our former students and meet the new ones, either in person or virtually! It is our hope that our students come to their class each day ready to sing and be part of a community again.

They are making the most of this strange time while singing into a mask, over 6 feet away from other singers, and having half their choir at home. Through all this, we are going to learn…
