Starting this year, 2nd grade students will learn to play the ukelele! From Harding's awesome Ms Simms: "Here are some pics of our class rocking the ukuleles! We have learned the names of the parts of the ukulele, how to hold it safely, how to strum, and how to pick the top string. Super fun! Only the beginning. THANK YOU, PTA!!"
