Pancakes and Performances

This year we revived the traditional Nathan Hale Pancakes and Performances music extravaganza, complete with all you can eat breakfast and music from our talented students. Many thanks go out to all who worked so hard to make this event a success, including our talented students, supportive families, Music Booster volunteers, our community, and our Music teachers. It was a spectacular event with good food, great music, and true community spirit.
