Dear Summerside Families,
We have officially finished our fourth-grade virtual program which is titled "All Things Sweet." There are so many wonderful things to celebrate with this performance and we are excited for you to watch it! I'm so glad our students were able to get the valuable experience of preparing for a program, performing individual skills as a class and performing as a whole grade as well. They did an excellent job putting this together and they have grown a lot as musicians through this experience!
Below you will find the link for the virtual performance. Please note that although this is a YouTube link, it's a private unlisted link that can only be accessed if you have the exact link I am sending out. Therefore, if you try to search for the program in the public search bar - it will not show up. Feel free to share this link with family members and friends as you see fit, but rest easy knowing it's not a performance for any stranger to look up and view.
Now without further ado, please feel free to find a sweet treat as you sit back, relax, and enjoy the show!

First Graders enjoyed a beautiful spring picnic lunch this week to celebrate the warm weather and all of their hard work together!
