Middle School students entertain at the Madrona Club meeting
The Madrona Club of Orcas Island was treated to some beautiful music by Orcas School Music Director Pamela Wright and her music students at the Club’s monthly luncheon on Thursday, April 10. Students from the 5th-6th Grade Choir performed the haunting “Shule Aroon,” an 18th century Irish folk song, and the Orcas Choir Club sang another traditional Irish song, “May the Road Rise to Meet You.”

What a treat to be serenaded by the choral students! I was really deeply touched by their singing…
