The spring concert was a HUGE success! The students sang their hearts out and filled the church with smiles of joy! A special thanks to Mrs. Moir, Mrs. Phillips, teachers and staff, and to all the students who put on a wonderful concert! The theme was “Music Around the World”. The students sang different songs from Ireland, Africa, Scotland, Germany, Hawaii, and India. The student solos, the students playing instruments, and the dance routines definitely highlighted many of the students’ strengths and added special moments during the concert! The concert ended with a surprise finale song for Fr. Christopher! Mrs. Moir wanted to show appreciation, gratitude, and express how much of a blessing Fr. Christopher is to SPPS by having the students surprise him by singing his favorite hymn from India! The students pulled off the surprise and the song was a hit! Fr.
