Singsational lived up to its name! After an incredible evening of performances by fourth-grade, junior high, and high school choirs and a combined finale, we heard families singing all the way to their cars! 🎵🎶 Singsational is a long-standing tradition in CUSD, reminding us of the importance of the performing arts in education. Thank you to our incredible team of music teachers, all of the students who performed, families who attended or watched from home, and our amazing classified staff without whose support Singsational would not be possible. If you missed the live performances, see the livestream at https://youtu.be/klwjTqggwMI. And check out more pics on CUSD's Facebook page!
