A Message from Mrs. Kunkel
Thank you so much for taking the time out of your busy schedules to come and make music with your child. Our 3rd graders were so excited to share what they have learned with you. It was such a joy to see so many families singing and playing music with one another, I hope you enjoyed it just as much as I did. Thank you again for making such a wonderful memory with your child through music.
~Mrs. Kunkel
