On behalf of all of us at Rockland District Middle School, I wish to thank the folks at the Strand Theater for their kind welcome to our students to perform their chorus and band concerts this school year. We are so grateful for this wonderful opportunity made possible thanks to a gift to the Strand from the Matt and Ellen Simmons Fund.

Abi Nash, our music teacher, and I are so proud of our students’ professional performances. This authentic opportunity was such a wonderful improvement from performing in our gymnasium. It is such a wonderful thing to see community and schools working together.

Kathryn Hollicker is the principal and Abi Nash is the music teacher at Rockland District Middle School
