From the Desk of Dr. G Virtual Choir Our after-school choir group needed to be flexible in order to follow the safety guidelines connected to COVID-19...but the virtual practices didn't hold them back. WOW!!! Their dedication and teamwork really paid off! If you have two minutes, please check out the video they created of their performance. (It's one of the most inspiring things I've seen in a while.) Thank you to everyone for being flexible and supporting this different-type of learning. Special thanks to Mr. Westgard for his leadership, innovation, and talent.
