Musical Artist Edgar René performed at Harper Creek High School’s auditorium for Harper Creek Community Schools’ third and fourth graders, HCCS Middle and High School Spanish students, St. Philip Catholic High School Spanish students, Marshall High School Students, and Fremont International Academy students. René’s visit was made possible by a Bcreative Arts grant from the Miller Foundation.
Sr. René put on an energetic show, bringing the students to their feet, dancing, jumping, waving their glow bracelets, and singing along, giving a true rock musical experience.
Thank you to Sra. Lesa Kenney and Sra. Vanessa Hunt for obtaining the Bcreative grant and working with Sra. René to bring this world-class performance to the students of Harper Creek Community Schools and neighboring schools. Thank you also to the classroom teachers, tech, facilities, and transportation for making this experience memorable for all who attended.
