The field in the rear of the school was packed with parents and grandparents as students from each class performed a musical number and the third-grade girls performed the traditional Maypole Dance. All third-graders took part in the Parachute Party.

This year’s musical selections were, as Principal Mark Ranford said, were “All-American songs by American composers.”

First-graders want to go out to the ballgame.
