ANYONE WHO ATTENDED MONDAY’S HOLIDAY CONCERT, “JINGLE BELL JUKEBOX,” definitely knows the holiday season is here. Scores of Tracy Area Elementary School students entertained a massive crowd with 10 holiday songs, sang in-between scenes from a skit that was set inside a diner just
days before Christmas. The show was arranged and directed by TAES music teacher Shannon Benson. Photos / Per Peterson
