Welcome 2016-2017

We are so excited to start off the 2016-2017 year! Please take a look at our concert dates and mark them in your calendar! We have loved seeing all the kids after a long summer and we are already having fun singing in dancing in class! We have reviewed Folk dances such as Sasha and Chimes of Dunkirk and started learning songs like Sansakroma, Weevily Wheat and the Telephone song! Our first graders love singing Little Mice, and hearing our song book The Crabfish! Please email us if we can be of any extra help to your student!

Tho somethings migh be different, we’re children just the same, and we all like to sing and play. Chorus (1st Grade only) There are children in the deserts, and children in the towns And children who live down by the sea, If we could meet each other, to run and sing and play, than what good friends we all could be!
