We are incredibly proud of our choir, band, and orchestra students for their amazing performances this week.
Our students showcased their growth, talent, and dedication through performances for both families and our school community. It has been especially exciting watching our 8th grade students continue to grow and refine their craft throughout their years at Friendship.
