On May 21 st our school had the opportunity to have Mr. Conrad perform at our school. We were very pleased with the performance
that he presented to the children of Pine Beach Elementary School. The performance was fun filled, lively, and truly inspirational.
Through the use of many talents, Mr. Conrad taught our children about our country's history. This program "Songs that helped build
America" allowed the children to sing along and participate in a very patriotic manner. It was an afternoon enjoyed by all who attended.
