Our young performers lit up the stage with music, smiles, and talent! Watch the best moments from a heartwarming evening of song and celebration.
The Elementary Spring Concert 2025 features young musicians, dancers, and performers from St. Paul. They brought the magic of the savanna to life in a vibrant musical production. The students showed their talent and hard-work with singing, storytelling, and dancing. Family and friends were captivated as the stage came alive with adventure, friendship, and courage.
Before the show, guests were invited to explore an art gallery in the lobby, where students displayed their creative interpretations of the story, the real-life animals we share our planet with and African culture. The exhibit featured paintings, comic books, posters, sculptures, and mixed-media pieces inspired by wildlife, the environment, and the people.
