SRIS Fall Band Concert

School has been in session for 6 weeks without major problems.  Is was now time for the band students to show what they have learned.  They have faithfully followed all the requirements to participate in band.  Taking temperatures daily, sitting at least 6 feet apart, and having assigned seats.  The reward is getting to practice together each day.  They are definitely ready to show off.

Performance!!

It was only 20 minutes long the perfect amount of time.  It was fun to see that when you follow the rules and restrictions there are rewards.   I am grateful to our school board, school administration, and teachers for all their hard work and dedication to the students.  Their hard work made this concert possible for the kids.  Shutting down the schools is not the answer during the pandemic.  Kids need the daily routine and learning opportunities that can only be found by attending school.  It has been said that the kids bring sickness home every day.  They can be germ magnets.  This has always been true since the beginning of time.  The best defense is healthy meals, plenty of sleep, fun exercise, and a good sense of humor.
