Junior High Jazz Band & Middle Notes Visit Nursing Homes

The Whitehall Junior High Jazz Band and the Middle Notes vocal group visited the Whitehall Tri-County Nursing Home and the Pigeon Falls Health Care Center on Thursday, May 10, 2012. The two groups performed in Whitehall first at 9 a.m., then traveled to Pigeon Falls and performed there at 10:30 a.m. Each group performed several selections for very appreciative audiences. All members were then treated to pizza at Dodge Street Grill. Mrs. Kjos, Mrs. Goplin and Ms. Shattuck would like to thank the Nursing Homes for the treats for the kids and for assistance in setting up for our performance. We were back in school for 6th hour! What an enjoyable day with well-behaved students! Enjoy the photo gallery from our trip.
