It was a celebration of the arts across our school at our spring concert held on Tuesday, April 18. Before the concert, families toured the hallways of CCS to view a showcase of outstanding artwork by our students that was displayed by our art teacher, Mrs. Smart. Parents and community members were then treated to a recorder performance by our 4th grade students, individually designed “sound suits” created and choreographed by our 3rd graders, and a boomwhacker show and xylophone performance by our 5th grade students. All students in 16 performed songs rehearsed with Ms. Jacobson and our 7th graders shared a group dance from their music class. Eighth grade students Leah LaCross and Tim Harris delighted the audience by sharing their individual musical talents with solo performances. The surprise finale of the show however allowed the entire CCS community to celebrate and thank Ms. Jacobson for her 33 year teaching career at CCS. Ms. J. summarized her appreciation for the night with this statement: "Thank you, all, for making this evening of Music and Art a success and a sweet memory for me."
