Wolf Pack Choir has "oceans of fun" at Arapahoe Ridge

Arapahoe Ridge was bursting with school spirit as the 2nd and 3rd Grade Wolf Pack Choir took center stage for their all-school presentation of "Go Fish!" Under the dedicated direction of Mrs. Girardin and Ms. Caraballo, students spent weeks rehearsing after school—singing, dancing, and perfecting a sea-inspired script full of jokes and joy.

But this wasn't just a performance—it was a true community collaboration. Families were invited to help create costumes and set pieces, and they delivered in a big way! From colorful fish to coral reefs, the creativity and effort behind the scenes brought the underwater world to life.

After performing for their peers during a daytime assembly, the choir returned to the stage for a special evening performance open to family and community members. The excitement was contagious as the students lit up the room with their talent, teamwork, and enthusiasm!

“Watching our students shine on stage and support one another throughout the process was the most rewarding part,” said Mrs. Girardin. “The ARE community also came through in a big way for the kids with their homemade costumes and decorations.”

The show was a celebration of: hard work, creativity, and community spirit. As the cast of "Go Fish!" would agree—it was truly “Oceans of fun!”
