Jamie Sepulvado, Dexter Public Schools Choral Director, recently hosted a Junior High Choir Festival featuring schools from Jackson, Bloomfield, Poplar Bluff and Dexter. Each school's choir performed two songs and unified for an ending number. "It was a wonderful event, not only because of the good music, but also because each school was asked prior to the festival to contribute to a donation to St. Jude Children's Research Hospital in Memphis. Students and staff devised unique methods of raising funds, including Hat Day during which students were allowed to wear a hat in the course of the school day for a one dollar fee. Sepulvado expressed the hope that the festival become an annual event.
