Holiday traditions are so much fun! The atmosphere was filled with joy at Gilkey, Cooper and Starr Elementary Schools as the Middle and High School Choirs performed for students during their annual holiday caroling tour across the district. This cherished event features a mix of beloved holiday classics along with some new favorites. It remains a highlight for all the students and staff involved, with smiles that are truly priceless!
It was another beautiful evening at the Plainwell Performing Arts Center, where the 6th and 7th grade choirs, as well as the 8th grade honors choir took the stage. The students delivered outstanding performances, which included various holiday songs, creating a memorable night at the PAC.
