Well... is all done.
I'm so proud of the students and what they have accomplished this entire week. The spARTanS Musicians bounced back so quickly. It's absolutely amazing.
Thank you so much to Dorothy Vreeswyk-Kidd and Jordyn Marie For hosting the event. Thank you to Heather Fleming for organizing the Kiwanis events.
It was awesome to work with Mark Caswell and Richard Burrows as adjudicators.
