Craig Students make Honor Chorus

Katherine Boaitey, Taylor Jones, Ashlyn Wright

Three students from 5th grade were selected from Craig Elementary School to participate in the Gwinnett Elementary School Honor Chorus. These students worked really hard learning challenging music. They presented a concert at Smoke Rise Baptist Church (below) on Saturday, March 5. They did a wonderful job!

The National Association of Music Merchants recently saluted Gwinnett County Public Schools for Outstanding Support of Music Education - Enriching the lives of children and advancing student achievement.
