OES Strings

On December 5 and December 11, several of our 6th grade students participated in a pyramid-wide holiday strings event that brought together elementary feeder schools.

Students had the opportunity to perform four holiday selections with the Thoreau Middle School and Madison High School orchestras. Our students did a wonderful job and enjoyed listening and playing with the other schools.

Happy Holidays,

The OES Strings Team
