Students from the Kenora Catholic District School Board provided the musical entertainment at Pinecrest's Annual Volunteer Appreciation Dinner on May 2nd.
Phyllis Eikre, Director of Education, talked about why this opportunity is important for the students.
"When Pinecrest approached us to ask if our students would be interested in providing the musical entertainment, we said absolutely. Our students are excited to perform for the volunteers. This event is another opportunity for our students to shine and share their gifts. Events like this show our students the value of volunteering and the significant role volunteers play in our community. Opportunities like this help prepare our students to give of themselves and take on these important roles. "
At the 5:00 p.m. dinner Jack Bush, a Grade 4 student from Pope John Paul II School performed the "Twix" song on acoustic guitar. The main cast from Pope John Paul II School performed a scene from their recent musical "Get in the Game" and then performed the song "I am a Champion", and the St. Thomas Aquinas High School Drummers performed a traditional song.
At the 6:30 p.m. performance St. Louis School Choir, along with piano accompaniment from Ruth Girard, performed three songs: 'Look at the World", "I'se the By", and "I Have a Dream."
