Lincolnshire school hosts senior citizens' day concert in Lincolnshire

About 50 Lincolnshire-area residents were treated to music and refreshments during Wednesday's 28th annual Senior Citizens' Day & Community Outreach Concert at Daniel Wright Junior High School.

Lincolnshire-Prairie View Elementary District 103 invited guests from the surrounding area for an afternoon of festivities featuring the school's music students. In all, 200 seventh and eighth grade students, making up the school's show choir, band, chorus and orchestra, performed.

Daniel Wright Principal Michelle Blackley said the program is important for the students, who are known for academic achievement and excel in science, math and the arts.

"It's an opportunity for them to showcase really who they are and how much they do care about their community. It's just great to get our community in here and to really showcase what great things our kids are doing," Blackley said.
