4th Grade Recorder Concert

Congratulations to Miss Komsa and the students of Mrs. Noble’s 4th grade class for a successful recorder concert. On Friday October 19th, families were invited to hear the results of all the hard work the students have done over the first nine weeks learning to play the recorder under the direction of Miss Komsa. Students played a variety of pieces for their families and Miss Komsa explained the hard work that goes into learning an instrument. Great job to Miss Komsa and all of the students of Mrs. Noble’s class.
