Good afternoon Midkota. We have been watching the weather closely, and we just can't in good conscience proceed with our Elementary Christmas Concert tonight. While we were hoping to see all of you this evening and are so sorry that this may inconvenience some of you, we would rather err on the side of caution. Our concert will instead by Monday, December 11, 2023 at 1:30 PM in the afternoon. We hope to still see you there, but we will plan to stream in on our Facebook page for those of you who won't be able to attend. Stay safe and have a good weekend Midkota!
