ANNOUNCEMENTS

We're excited that our very own math teacher, Karen Smith, was featured on the district podcast with Superintendent Godfrey. Mrs. Smith is a professional cellist and has played on stage with Yo-Yo Ma and John Williams. Students are lucky to have such a dedicated and talented teacher. Listen to the interview and hear two beautiful pieces played by Mrs. Smith. She's accompanied by Mr. Noyes, our choir director who is another talented teacher here at South Hills.
