Fourth graders at Winthrop Avenue School showcased their leadership and musical talents on Nov. 21 during a heartfelt Thanksgiving concert.
Dressed in fall colors of red and orange, the Winning Stars chorus performed songs celebrating gratitude, the world around them, and the importance of being thankful for themselves. Families were welcomed by two students on piano, followed by a small string ensemble performing “Ode to Joy” and “What a Wonderful World.”
The chorus then took the stage with performances including “America the Beautiful,” accompanied by music teacher Mrs. Glikos, the upbeat “Bright Happy Day,” and “Gratitude Attitude,” featuring student solos and reflections on thankfulness. The concert concluded with a lively rendition of Katy Perry’s “Roar,” leaving the audience inspired.
The event provided a joyful morning of music, community, and appreciation — a fitting start to the season of thanks.
