Please join us in congratulating Isabella N. on her outstanding performance as part of this year's GGUSD Honor Choir! Several chorus members auditioned, and she was selected to represent Russell in the district choir. 🎵

With just two short rehearsals leading up to the concert, Isabella and the other participants dedicated a great deal of effort to learning the music on their own. We’re so proud of their hard work and dedication!
