MOSD Students Perform

Recently MOSD students were featured at the Memphis Redbirds Baseball Game.  Thanks to the generosity of Pickler Wealth Advisors, we were able to capture the children singing Take Me Out to the Ballgame and saying the Pledge of Allegiance.  The Redbirds played our performances on the big screen for all the fans to see. 

Click on the links below the video player to watch the children perform.
