FROM SALLY SCHNEIDER:
Where to begin?!
Spending the weekend with 50 FHS choral grads as well as 30 current
Firestone choristers, their director Megan Meyer and accompanist/choir parent Julie Lehman, was a privilege and a joy!
When a teacher spends four years with a student from the age of 14 to 18, one witnesses tremendous growth, rebellion, development. Bonds with the extended family are also formed…and good-byes are tough.
Imagine being able to see and sing with these “kids” again, now in their 30s/40s!
And boy did they sing❤️
They brought their spouses, their children, their parents to the culminating concert and it was an emotional homecoming:)
Graduates came back home from FL, NY, MO, MA as well as all corners of Ohio.
Some off the many occupations represented include ER nurse, nurse practitioners, therapists, dental hygenists, personal trainers, physical therapists, attorneys, accoutants, TV news anchors, engineers, business managers, real estate brokers…and much more. All independent, self-sufficient, thriving, happy🩷
It was my absolute pleasure to conduct this group. Thank you graduates for the lovely flowers, the keepsake, the card but moreso for your travel time/expense and your beautiful voices❤️
