Students across all grade and skill levels performed at the annual Soda Shop on Friday, Oct. 18. Tri-M Honors Society coordinated the event.
Senior Emma Krall performed in three acts in Soda Shop and helped organize the event as president of Tri-M.
“Soda Shop is one of my favorite events at the school and organizing it for the past two years has been such a rewarding experience,” Krall said. “It’s a great opportunity for people to enjoy listening to their friends and peers perform and also encourages people to step out of their comfort zone.”
Family members and peers gathered around the stage in the school library listening to students performed. Some people bought snacks to eat while enjoying the show. The proceeds from snack and entrance ticket sales were all donated to St. Jude Pediatric Cancer Research Center.
