It’s been a tough year for lots of us. For students at the Choir School of Delaware, not being able to get together to sing has been especially difficult.
“COVID? It sucks,” said Arianna Walker, an eighth grader at Gateway Lab School in Wilmington.
She’s in her first year with the Choir School, a comprehensive after-school program that provides more than just a chance to sing. In addition to music lessons, students get help with school work and learn life skills from adult tutors and mentors.
