Its hard to believe that I'm grading finals! This semester has flown by! Kicking off the semester with the Choir Picnic and performances at the Jewish Community Center, then to the Fall Concert with our alumni, then Cabaret, next hosting the All-District Choir Festival, then Heritage Singers performing with Kenny Rogers, and finally an OUTSTANDING Holiday concert--we have been busy but, we have been AWESOME!
In addition to our Holiday concert we also collected to help SMS families in need this holiday season. This year we had more struggling families than ever (32 families, 10 of them homeless). I'm proud to announce that our daily collection, combined with some very generous donations from our audience at the concert, resulted in a donation total of over $2400! We were able to help each SMS family! Thank you for showing so much care for your fellow Raiders!
Finally, thank you for all of your hard work and dedication to making SMS Choir one of the best high school choir programs out there! I hope Winter Break gives you a chance to sleep-in and spend time with family and friends. Happy Hanukkah to those families who begin celebrating tonight! Happy Holidays to all of you!
Looking forward to great second semester!
Peace.
