Today's Fun Fact Friday is about Mr. Wyatt. Did you know that Mr. Wyatt was All State in Choir in middle school?! Stop by and ask him to sing you a song and see if he still has it!
Today's Trivia Tuesday comes from the music/choral department. Did you know that there are roughly 9,274 songs about or for Christmas. If you were to sing every Christmas song for 3.5 minutes each, you would need to sing them 24/7 from December 1 to December 24 to get through them all.
