Spring Cabaret!!! April 23rd

Come one, come all to the Lower School Spring Cabaret. The talents are wide and varied this April with acts that dance, acts that sing, play piano, guitar, even sitar!  

The performance is on Tuesday, April 23rd and begins at 11:10AM in the AP room. Let's fill the seats with family and friends!

Fun Friday: Student Spotlight

Last weekend The Wardlaw Hartridge School held its annual school recital.  Students who pursue musical studies outside of the school curriculum had the opportunity to exhibit their talents for family and friends. While the recital performers are usually students from the Middle and Upper Schools, this year the Lower School was represented by 2nd grader, Annie Gu. She dazzled and delighted with her performance of "Sonata in C major, 1st movement" by Mozart. Here is a snippet of her lovely performance.
