Grades 3–5 students present Celebrate AMERICA!

Students in grades 3–5 performed their spring program “Celebrate America!” in honor of the 250th birthday of the country. The students gave a wonderful performance under the direction of our lower school music teacher, Rob Brannon. All students wore red, white, and blue, and some even decked themselves out with hats, beads, and glitter. It was wonderful having our parents on campus for this special program in honor of America’s Semiquincentennial.
