Homestead School Principal Dr. Suzanne Viscovich introduces the students. Approximately 120 six and seven year olds played starring roles in last week's First Grade Winter Festival at the Garden City Homestead Primary School, where - under the choreography of Music Director Katie Riker - they enthralled their "Standing Room Only" audience with an outstanding performance of holiday songs and verse.
