What a great time we had at the Dearborn Symphony Orchestra Concert!   We took nearly 100 4th grade students to the Ford Community and Performing Arts Center experienced a wonderful morning of Classical Music.  It was great fun!  A special Congratulations goes out to Yousef Chammout who represented Miller school onstage as a recorder soloist.  Great job!  It just goes to show that hard work really pays off!  Thank you to Mrs. Traicoff, Mrs. Alsabahi, Mrs. Grigorian and Mrs. Moukalled for going with us and for helping to prepare our students for the experience.
