On December 13, the 5th-grade choir brought the holiday spirit to life with three memorable performances during their choir tour!
Their first stop was at the Caesar Rodney Rotary Club in Wilmington, where they delighted members with their festive repertoire. Next, they visited Fairville Friends School, where they not only performed, but also joined in song with students there. A highlight of the visit was a special meet-and-greet with kindergarten students, and some of our fifth graders cherished the chance to reconnect with former WFS kindergarten teacher, Kim Alberta.
The tour concluded with a visit to the Brandywine River Museum, where the students showcased their talents for museum patrons. This performance was even streamed live on Facebook, allowing the joy of their music to reach an even wider audience!
What a wonderful way to share the sounds of the season and spread joy to so many in our community. Bravo, 5th-grade choir! 🎶
