Fall Concert Wrap-Up
Students — What great performances at “Fall Back to Mozart” Concert! I was so impressed with your progress in such a short time. Let’s keep it going and it will be amazing to see where we are in April!
Thank you to the leadership team for your assistance with set-up and tear down. Also, special thanks to the AHSOA parents who set up and ran the concert cafe. It always looks so nice!
