Janice Johnston featured her music students at their Christmas Recital on Saturday, December 16, 2023 in the Rippey Community Room. The students performed a variety of Christmas solos and duets, as well as a couple of vocal solos. The highlight of the evening was when the audience was invited to join in singing some Christmas Carols, accompanied by Janice and her violin players.
The dedication plaque on the piano reads:

Janice and her students are certainly using this gift to share with others. It’s always an entertaining evening and fun to watch the young people improve their special talents each year.
