From Mrs. Blackwell
The Columbus Philharmonic Orchestra was a great experience. Besides hearing musical selections by the large orchestra, the students got to see and hear individual instruments being played. At the close of the presentation the audience was asked to sing along as the orchestra played some Patriotic Songs.
AR was on hold this week because of computer problems. We will try to catch up as soon as possible.
Students of the Week this week are Jacob Rorig and Jordan Peters. Next week will be Hailley Peters and Brooke Meyer.
