Bravo David Olson and the Crestwood Staff for bringing music concerts back to Crestwood. As I watched the second and third graders perform it was clear they were happy to be there, participating and sharing their music with the Crestwood Community. Way to go! Looking forward to many more concerts in the future. It takes leadership and teamwork to make this happen and you all did it!
