During the month of December, Mr. Echols recorded his music classes at Heber Springs Elementary singing various Christmas songs. Tonight we wanted to share those songs with all of our families. Classes are listed by grade and alphabetically. If you do not see your child’s class listed please remember some classes split and attend activity classes with other groups. Be sure to ask your child which class he/she sang with on this day.
Merry Christmas everyone!
