Upper School choir students at Rabun Gap-Nacoochee School have been busy sharing holiday joy with the surrounding community this month.

Nearly 20 singers spent the afternoon visiting and caroling at three local nursing homes – Traces of Tiger, Cannonwood Village, and Mountain View. Residents enjoyed it as the students sang a collection of traditional Christmas carols as well as some fun songs from the school’s upcoming Christmas Showcase.
