MUSIC News:

• O.K., most of you know our beloved Michela Gardner, Morton Music Teacher, and lead teacher for All City Chorus, but take a minute to listen to her sing acapella on her band's new release...  available to listen to on Spotify!  I am listening to it as I write this, and I'm dancing in my yoga ball chair..  Here's the link:  8TRX
• Our 3rd graders from Fonseca, HLCS, Spencer Borden and Tansey attended the New Bedford Symphony Orchestra's Orchestra as Ecosystem- Symphony as Symbiosis.  Our kids were so excited.  Check out their adorable expressions in the Fall River Herald's coverage of this event: Herald Article
