6th Grade Solos!

Great job everyone! I will just cut and paste the email I sent the entire faculty this afternoon:
I just wanted to share with you all a highlight of my day: We had solo auditions in 6th grade chorus and only a few kids signed up. Then they started encouraging each other and a TON of kids got brave enough to do it! The kids were super sweet and supportive of everyone, and seeing them all cheer for each other warmed my heart. If you see a 6th grade singer today, give them a high five. And a big thanks to amazing judge Mr. Fin!!
