Here are a few more pics from last night's Kindergarten Spring Program. Students entertained the crowd by telling them what they had learned in school this year -- in song. The students sang the "Peanut Butter & Jelly Song," the "I know My ABC's Song," the "Short Vowel Song," and the "DJ Count to 100 Song." They closed the show with the "I'm Ready for First Grade Song." It was a great turn out for the program and we appreciate all those who support our students and attended the program.
