During a recent reading assignment, Mrs. Figgins' class encountered a story featuring a narrator who finds renewed strength through playing the accordion. The students were delighted to discover that Brooks Braden, a middle school student, is an accomplished accordion player. Brooks graciously volunteered to perform for the class, sharing his musical talent and even allowing classmates to try the instrument themselves. The class extends its sincere appreciation to Brooks for his generosity and enthusiasm.
