Fifth graders from A.P. Willits Elementary School continued their partnership with the Excel Rehabilitation and Nursing Center in Woodbury as the students visited their senior citizen friends and gave a heartwarming holiday musical performance. Under the direction of Willits music teacher Ann Marie Hennessey, Tiffany Rennard and Alison Zorn’s fifth graders sang a variety of holiday songs including “Rock the Halls,” “Oh Hanukkah” and many more. At the end of the concert, students presented Excel residents with special holiday gift bags they designed. Many of them added to the festive mood by wearing holiday attire. Willits students have been performing for residents of the center for more than 10 years.
