Message from Mrs. Moretti

Music is my lifelong passion. I have had the opportunity to see it enrich the lives of many students, as well as my own. It is my goal that our SMCS Choir becomes a tradition of excellence and a group that the students and school can feel proud of. I continue to be pleased as I hear stories of SMCS Choir and Music alums who are finding success within their given high school as well as community musical experiences. I hope to see that trend continue!

Many school choirs require an audition, however, our SMCS Choir continues to be open to all students 2^nd-8^th grade as it is my belief that all willing students should find a place to learn and grow within a school choir.
