An awesome winter tradition for students at Horizon Middle School East is the Honor Band Holiday Tour: members of this ensemble spend the day traveling to MAPS elementary schools and other locations to share their music during the festive season. This year, the Honor Band visited Ellen Hopkins Elementary, Robert Asp Elementary, Dorothy Dodds Elementary and Serenity Assisted Living in Dilworth. Great job, Spuds! 🎶❄️🧡 #FoundationsForTheFuture
