On December 15th the middle school held a winter concert. The the chorus was directed by Mrs. Tara Blake, the 6th, 7th, and 8th grade orchestra, by Mr. Henry Sobieski, and the 6th 7th and 8th grade band, by Mr. Joseph Thornburg. The 6th grade got thier own time while the 7th and 8th graders were played together in one section. They each played about 3 to 4 song from the normal Christmas carols to the new songs by other artists. With almost 100 students participating, the entire auditorium was filled with relatives there for the students. Almost all the instruments were represented including Bass. We hope that you will show up to their spring concert as well. Library News by Satene Banks 1. Children of Blood and Bones Adeyemi, Tomi AR 2. Bravelands Code of Honor Hunter, Erin AR 3.
