Congratulations to our West Manheim York County Elementary Choral Participants!
Congratulations to our West Manheim York County Elementary Choral Participants! The concert was fantastic! I was so very proud of the way the students represented West Manheim Elementary and the South Western School District today. Their behavior was top-notch, along with their musical performance. Mrs. Pollard, our guest conductor, is a personal friend of mine and she was very impressed with our musicians. I hope they all had a wonderful time.
I have attached a picture of our great musicians.
Also, both the York Daily Record and the Evening Sun were present today, taking pictures and writing an article. I was excited to see some of our West Manheim super stars in the pictures! Enjoy!
