A School District #150 Jewell

The Place -The Optimist Club Luncheon today at Barracks Catering.

The Performers – Preparatory School for the Arts

From – Peoria High School

Directed by - Ms. Karen Henderson Choral Director

The Choral Group – Absolutely delightful and talented!

The Director – Ditto!

The Optimist Members – Very appreciative!

This group of talented and seniors and underclass students put on a very refreshing and delightful and attention holding performance, presenting excellent vocal skills; even a barbershop quintet of five guys who not only were talented singers but entertaining performers. This group is a must see.

Their pre-holiday performances are scheduled as follows:

Thursday 12/15 at PHS – Peoria High Holiday Concert at 7:00 P.M.

Sunday 12/18 at the Civic Center Theatre – PACC Concert at 2:30 P.M.

Saturday 12/24 on WHOI-TV – Songs of the Holiday – 7 -9 P.M.

The leadership of Ms. Henderson and the attentiveness to her leadership by the boys and girls in Peoria High Choral Group is a pleasure to observe. This choral group and their director, is just one prominent example of accomplished people in Peoria Public School District #150. The Preparatory School for the Arts is a very important addition to the district’s curriculum, providing learning experiences from a respected and talented teacher whose extra efforts assist to graduate well-rounded high school, and probably college bound, students.

You can reach Ms. Henderson at karen.henderson@PSD150.org or at 672-6630. She knows how to relate to her students and assist them to perform their very best and it is obvious this choral group enjoys performing.

See for yourself and tell your friends!!
