Hello, families and friends of our Finley-Oates Elementary 2nd and 3rd grade students!!! We have been busy in class preparing for our upcoming Christmas program set for 6PM on the evening of Tuesday, Dec. 6, 2022 on the BHS stage. We hope you will be able to attend and enjoy the festivities! Students will all be singing together and should arrive in the BHS cafeteria by 5:30PM to warm up and line up. I would love to see the students in festive holiday wear or nice attire. If you would like to stay and watch the BHS Choir concert directly after at 7PM, we would love to have you at that, as well.

Students have been asking for links to some of their music so that they can rehearse on their own. Here are links to 3 of their songs if they would like to practice.
