Fourteen music students from the Herricks Public Schools’ Denton Avenue and Searingtown elementary buildings participated in the 15th Annual PEAK Festival. As PEAK stands for parents, teachers and kids, the young musicians were joined by their parents and teachers Jennifer Kiang and Briana Cangemi.

This music festival focuses on fostering a musical connection between parents and their children through a variety of workshops offered throughout the day. The last hour of each year’s event features a concert that showcases the different sessions and experiences.

The Herricks students were among a total of 314 Nassau County fourth graders who participated in this opportunity, which was held at Molloy College and is run by the Nassau Music Educators Association All County Classroom Music Division.
