Episcopal School of Dallas fifth-graders worked hard to box a whopping 5,250 meals in two hours at the North Texas Food Bank yesterday.

Last weekend, more than 250 choir, dance and theater students will performed in “Winter Songs: A Musical Concert” at W.T. White High School, marking choir director Michael Parker’s last winter concert. Last week Senior Editor Emily Toman noted, “Parker has served as choral director since 1999, writing original shows and leading students to top honors at UIL competitions over the years.”
