2 - MUSICAL CELEBRATIONS AT BEN HEM THIS WEEK
This week we hosted our first Orchestra and Band performances for parents. It was impressive to hear the progress our students have made since the beginning of the school year. Thanks to Ms. Natti and Mr. Rice our conductors for supporting our children with these new skills.
