DREAMERS - UPCOMING CONCERT Friday, December 13th
Ms. Cameron Muscente has been preparing students from the Dreamers learning community for a presentation in the library on Friday 11:15 - 11:45 AM. Throughout the fall the children have been learning an array of basic songs in their classrooms. As the concert has gotten closer, the students have been trouping down to the library for practice sessions. Now they are familiar with the presentation space and performance expectations. Family members and friends are welcome to attend this short and important annual concert.
