Join us in sending a round of applause to students in the West Hills Middle School Concert Choir. They performed in the District Advanced Choir Festival this week and their choir director, Michael Draut, says they earned perfect scores from both judges.

Way to go West Hills Concert Choir. Keep on making magical music bringing smiles and happiness to those around you!
