HILLMAN, Mich. Just when the Grinch tried to steal the joy at Hillman Elementary School, the music director steps in and saves the day.
The recent shut down at Hillman Elementary caused morale to decrease among students and staff. On top of everything they had to cancel their annual Christmas program which is a community event that brings everyone together.
Hillman Teacher Kari Sobey said their Music Director Ben Witter emailed them with an idea of what he wanted them to do. Sobey said they were apprehensive at the idea at first but through Witter’s ingenuity and brilliance, his idea uplifted spirits and evoked laughter.
