GRAND ISLAND — Students from Walnut Middle School sang for the residents of Tabitha at Prairie Commons during the afternoon of Tuesday, Dec. 17.
“Instead of a traditional winter concert, the choir will embark on a heartwarming ‘mini tour’ of Tabitha at Prairie Commons performing a selection of festive songs and carols,” according to Grand Island Public Schools
Students from the 6th grade choir, followed by the 7th and 8th grade choir sang several holiday themed songs for the residents. Later they combined into one group to first sign Happy Birthday to one of the residents before closing out with a joint piece.
“This unique initiative aims to foster intergenerational connections and bring holiday cheer to area seniors,” according to GIPS.
The Walnut Holiday Harmony event was made possible in part due to a Grand Island Public Schools Foundation grant of $350.
