he Argyle High School Choir program is off to an amazing start this year. Even though COVID-19 has presented us with unprecedented challenges, our students have stepped up and embraced the changes we have made so that Choir can continue to happen in the safest way possible. By wearing masks, social distancing in class, and singing with hospital-grade air filters, we are able to sing inside of our classroom. We are truly thankful to the Argyle ISD administration for helping us make the necessary financial purchases to accommodate these changes to our classroom routines.
