Join 90 of the finest 3rd-, 4th- and 5th-grade singers from Wicomico County Public Schools for a concert at 2 p.m. in the Wicomico High School Auditorium. Join the ACES Choir (ACES = All-County Elementary Schools with intermediate grades) to Travel All Around the USA," under the direction of Ms. Brown of Willards Elementary and Ms. Rush of Delmar Elementary with accompaniment by Mr. Evans of Northwestern Elementary. You'll love the musical tour on which our student singers will lead you, in sings learned and refined through weeks of practice.

Doors will open at 1:30 p.m. for seating. Tickets are $5 each. (WCPS staff members get in free with their badge.) We hope to see you there as the ACES Choir demonstrates why Wicomico County Public Schools is consistently named one of the Best Communities for Music Education.

Don’t forget! Create a Book Fair eWallet for your child NOW so they can shop cash-free, worry-free, and independently! It’s easy to set up and easy for others to contribute funds! Start here: https://www.scholastic.com/bf/pembertonelementaryschool. The Book Fair ends on 3/27!
