Winter Jam Concert

Thank you to all who participated and made our Elementary Winter Jam a vibrant success! 

Ms. Benthien and the students worked extremely hard leading up to the concert and it was evident in their exceptional performance. We were all treated to special accompaniment by Ms. Corona on the ukulele and Ms. Amanda on piano. Great work to all the singers, dancers, stage crew and musicians.
