PK-4 students at Carl J. Lamb Elementary School took a special field trip to the music room to celebrate St. Patrick's Day, where they were immersed in the traditions of Irish music. During this interactive presentation, students learned an Irish dance, practiced a common phrase in the Irish language, and explored traditional Irish instruments. From lively jigs to the sounds of instruments like the tin whistle and bodhrán, the students gained a deeper appreciation for Irish culture.
