Next, it was the turn of the 1st, 2nd, and 3rd grade students to shine as they took to the stage with handsbells in hand. With precision and harmony, they performed beloved melodies such as “Mary Had a Little Lamb,” “Jesus Loves Me,” and “Amazing Grace,” captivating the audience with their melodic renditions.
