On Thursday, May 18th, students in 4th Grade across the district were able to participate in an amazing program called Link-Up. Sponsored by Carnegie Hall, our students along with approximately 30 other area schools took a trip to the beautiful Overture Center in Madison for a unique concert experience where they were both audience members as well as performers. Students have worked hard all year to learn the materials on recorder, singing, and dancing in order to "Link-Up" and perform them with lots of other students. It was quite a show!
