A note from Mr. Hill to the 8th grade class:
Your middle school experience began in the middle of a pandemic on the cusp of bringing faces (and audiences!) back to revisit Agrabah for “Aladdin, Jr.” Then you took us to the streets of New York and showed us your heart and fight in leading the Newsboys’ strike of 1899! You’ve learned and grown so much over these last three years, both as musicians and as people, and I am forever grateful for the time we’ve worked together. Congratulations to all of you, and I look forward to celebrating your continued success as you move on to the high school!
