The Gouverneur Elementary School held its Pre-Kindergarten and Kindergarten Concert on Wednesday, January 17 in the GHS auditorium. The students’ sweet vocals wowed the audience, igniting seasonal joys, wiping away the winter blues. The concert, originally scheduled for Tuesday, January 9, was postponed due to inclement weather.
The audience was welcomed by Gouverneur Elementary School Principal (Pre-K to First Grade) Kim Richards alongside Gouverneur Elementary School Principal (Grades 2-4) Rich Trowbridge. A word of welcome and gratitude was also shared by Gouverneur Elementary School Music Teacher, Mrs. Betty Hall.
The concert commenced with the Pre-Kindergarten classes performing “Snow is Falling Today” by Anne and David Ellsworth and “Mittens and Gloves” by Anne Ellsworth and Teresa Jennings.
The Kindergarten classes then performed “Red Plaid Flannel” by Teresa Jennings and “My Little Happy Heart” by Teresa Jennings.
The combined Pre-Kindergarten and Kindergarten classes then closed out the concert with a rousing rendition of “I’m So Glad To Be Here” by Teresa Jennings.
Thunderous applause sounded for the student-vocalists at the conclusion of the concert.
Much gratitude was extended to all the people who helped to prepare the students for the concert, and their support of the music programs in the Gouverneur Central School District. Special appreciation was extended to the Gouverneur Central School District Board of Education, GCS Superintendent of School Jackie Kelly, GES Principal Kim Richards, GES Principal Rich Trowbridge, GHS Principal Cory Wood, GCS Custodial Staff, GES Office Staff, Elementary Special Area Teachers, Gouverneur Elementary School Staff, GCS Transportation Staff, GCS Music Department, as well as to all the family and friends who support and encourage the students.
