Attention Parents/ Guardians of Hedding Students Kindergarten through 5th Grade.
I have been trying to find a way to create a virtual holiday concert for our HGS students. I have come up with an idea but in order to do it I will need a lot of parent/guardian help. Below is a "Virtual Concert" survey for you to fill out to see if I can get enough students involved to create something for the holidays.
Here is a link explaining what all would be involved: https://docs.google.com/document/d/1m7QhJRTO0hdugJFWpVLZHik-3SPQtOExWyP4jwSXAmo/edit?usp=sharing
Please fill out the form below and I will keep you updated on what is happening.
