All City Music Festival

Several students from Leon Sheffield were invited to participate in the All City Music Festival.  Students from every elementary, middle, and high school take a day to practice singing or playing their instruments together.  In the evening, there is a concert that displays everything they have worked on.  

Our students were great leaders, and did a wonderful job performing.  

At the concert, there was artwork displayed from several of our students.  Everything looked great!

In Decatur City, we are very fortunate to have wonderful music and art programs.

Thanks Mrs. Farris, and Ms. Miller for all of your hard work!

Veteran's Day

In honor of Veteran's Day, LSMS students prepared a musical program containing many patriotic songs, and the song from every branch of service.
