This week, we enjoyed two evenings of musical performances. Our Fourth Graders performed "Camp Recorder" and our Kindergarten students performed "Going to the Farm". Both shows highlighted all of the wonderful things students have learned throughout the school year in music class! A huge thank you to Mrs. Henning for producing such incredible shows! Way to go, Wildcats!
Congratulations to Gary D. Wright Elementary School fifth grade students, Jacob Coffey and Adeline Gorski, for their recognition at the Illinois Principals Association Kishwaukee Region 21st Annual Student Leadership Breakfast.
