The students
of Saint Andrews Elementary participated in this year’s Music Festival. Our
classes sang, danced and many students performed in the solo speeches. Our
choir was also a standout and we would like to thank our teachers for the extra
time they took to prepare our students for this event. We would like to thank all
the parents, grandparents, family member s and friends who supported the festival
again this year.
Thank you
for supporting the Arts in our community.
