The entire student body of Sandycreek Elementary took to the Franklin High School stage for the “I Love Rock and Roll Music Show,” a lively performance celebrating rock music from the 1950s to today. The show was directed by music teacher Suzanne Beach, who wanted a memorable send-off as she prepares to retire after 30 years of teaching. Beach, who has taught at Sandycreek since 2002 and spent the last four years leading music, expressed pride in her students for their enthusiasm and growth throughout the rehearsals. The performance, which filled the auditorium with light sticks and song during the final number, served as both a showcase for the students and a heartfelt farewell to a beloved educator starting a new chapter in her life.
