Congratulations to Ms. Raef and the 6th & 7th grade chorus, High School Chorus and Harmonix! All ensembles received superior ratings from the judges which is the HIGHEST RATING! They had lunch at Chick Fil A and the employees shared how wonderfully behaved all four buses of students were when they came through the restaurant. They were polite, well mannered, and great examples of how West Point Students should be! Also, Ruby Kate Vincent, Mallory Billet, and Molly Vincent were selected by audition to participate in all state chorus in April in Richmond. Ruby and Mallory are high school delegates and Molly is a middle school delegate. Congratulations!
