RECOGNITIONS

Warren Hills Senior, Gretchen Fix, from Washington Borough, performed with the New Jersey All-State Mixed Choir earlier this month at the teacher’s convention in Atlantic City.  The choir was over 300 voices strong and featured the highest achieving vocal students from throughout the entire state of New Jersey.  Students auditioned last April and rehearsed over a six month period in order to prepare.  This year’s conductor was Dr. Sandra Snow director of Choral Activities at Michigan State University.
