Thank you
The Eisenhower High School Choir thanks the members of the Warren County community for their support of its Tag Days fundraiser last weekend. These donations help the EMHS choir purchase new music and equipment and fund exciting opportunities for the singers. This weekend, forty members of the senior high choir are enjoying a four day trip to New York City. The group is attending two Broadway shows, participating in a Broadway Classroom workshop, touring the Metropolitan Museum of Art, visiting Ellis Island and the Statue of Liberty, as well as general sightseeing by foot, bus, subway, and boat. Again, thank you to all who donated both at tag days and throughout the year to make all these events possible for our music students.
