St. Teresa School in Lincoln held their spring vocal concert outdoors April 27, presented by students in grades 5-8, under the direction of Mrs. Terri Schilmoeller. The concert was a tribute to the nation's armed forces. Students performed the United States military service songs while veterans in the crowd were invited to stand for the particular anthem for their branch of the service, and programs listed the names of relatives of the fifth- through eighth-graders who served or are serving in the military.
