This Week in Choir: Week 36 & 37

Good Afternoon Grissom Choir,

Once again, this year has been such a memorable year.  Each choir had MANY breakthrough moments and achievements that truly elevated Grissom Choir as a whole.  I am so proud of each and every student for bringing something unique to this program.  Thank you all for making this year great!

Students, as we wrap up this school year, please take the time to look back at any missing assignments from this 9-weeks.  I will take any assignments turned in up until this Thursday evening!
