Thank you to all the professionals for their time to assist our young adults!

Postville Hosted the JH Upper Iowa Conference Choir Festival

On Monday, May 11, Postville hosted 5 other schools for The JH Upper Iowa Conference Choir Festival. The combined choir consisted of over 200 students.

Students rehearsed together and then performed in a concert that evening.

Postville JH choir members and select 6th grade students performed with the combined choir. Postville 7th and 8th grade choir members performed a solo piece in the evening concert, and students Brynn Rose, Keyla Badillo and Keily Morales were soloists on the song "This Little Light of Mine". Valorie Schunulle represented Postville as one of the narrators for the evening.

Congratulations to all of these students for representing Postville with pride and professionalism, and thank you to all who made this event possible at our school!
