HOLLAND: Wonderful concert sends Mrs. Stone into retirement

If you happened by Holland Elementary School recently, those pleasant voices you may have heard involved the fourth- and fifth-grade chorus performing a concert for the rest of the school and parents.

Mrs. Stone, music teacher, had the chorus sing beautiful songs that promoted patriotism, hope and "holding on to your dreams." The performance marked Mrs. Stone's final presentation because she will be retiring at the end of the school year.

Principal Massucci noted that Holland has talented pupils and that Mrs. Stone always brings out the best in them -- and their voices!

Several soloists did wonderful work and Principal Massucci knows that "we'll all see them on Broadway someday."

"We're sad to see Mrs. Stone go, but we want her to know that she leaves behind a legacy of musical inspiration and hundreds of children who have a greater appreciation of music because of her," Massucci said. "Thank you to Mrs. Stone for years of service and dedication to our children!"
