A note from Ms. Smeader:
'Our spring music program, "Handley Goes to the Disco" (May 29), was a great success! Thank you so much to the Handley Staff (Mrs. Price for the cool disco ball and groovy lava lamps), Mrs. Priem, her husband, and daughter Emma for helping to hang the decorations, the teachers who were here for line-up and monitoring during our practice and performance, and parents who helped their kids look amazing! I am so proud of them all! We had a packed gym for both shows, but there were still parents who were unable to attend. Is there ANYONE who is willing to share any of your grade level performances, Kindergarten-Fifth grade? If so, could you please post them here? I had several parents unable to attend and would have loved to have seen the program. It is also great to re-live these memories again. Thank you again! Have a wonderful summer! -Ms.Smeader '
