Greendale Middle School and High School choir director and her students sing Christmas songs for onlookers.
Last night, members of the Greendale High School and Middle School choir and their teacher, Erica Wilkinson, sung Christmas carols on Candy Cane Lane for fundraising.

“Christ Child: Songs of the Nativity” showcased the high school's talented bands and choirs in a Christmas celebration.
Martin Luther High School performed their annual Christmas concert in their Worship/Fine Arts Center on December 10 and 11.
