the changing of colors, pumpkin spice lattes or apple cider and fires in our fireplaces...

This program has always been awesome, even more so since I get to watch the Junies
participate...I can say that every parent can be proud... these students display so much
reverence...not a sound of talking, whispering from any student...they knew when to move
off stage and did it with just a motion to move...AMAZING!
...Kudos to their music teacher...
