Sara Carpenter, the vocal music teacher at Tri-County, hosted Tonic-Sol-Fa as part of an arts grant at our school in January. They did an entire day of workshops with the students from both Badger and Tri-County and it was wonderful! They also had the kids sing with them at the concert that night. I think our students’ lives were definitely enriched by having a group like that in our school. Living where we do, those kind of opportunities do not happen as often as I would like.
