I am in the room with Superintendent Matt Grose from Deer River Schools and he just told us about something very fun that’s happening online tonight when the Deer River high school students will be performing a joint concert online with students in Chicago, California and professional singers. You can sign up to see them online through the Cisco website.

Bridging the Gap Concert

Join students from across the nation, as they perform, sing, read poetry, dance, and celebrate the arts with their peers during this cross-country telepresence event.
