Ending Spirit Week in double the style 😎👯 Last twin day of the year did not disappoint! From matching outfits to matching energy, CRMS showed up and showed out!
The final orchestra concert was absolutely incredible! 🎻 From the first note to the final bow, our student musicians showcased their hard work, talent, and passion for music. What an amazing way to wrap up the year — we are so proud of all of our orchestra students and grateful to everyone who supported this memorable performance! 👏🎶
