The Baker High School Musical Players put on a wonderful performance of Irving Berlin’s “White Christmas!” We applaud them. Thank you to the Baldwinsville Teachers Association for providing tickets and transportation to Canton Woods’ seniors. Everyone thoroughly enjoyed the show and had very high praise for the student performers. It was a very merry addition to the holiday festivities. This is a favorite event each year and we truly appreciate the generosity of our Baldwinsville Teachers Association.
