Florence School District One Back to School Convocation
Almost every year that I have lived in Florence I have covered the annual Back to School Convocation for Florence School District One employees. Each year it proves to be a highly motivational event to give teachers that little extra enthusiasm to start the school year. There have been many great motivational speakers over the years and this year was no exception. One part of the event that I always look forward to is the music. The faculty and staff chorus got the crowd fired up with the song 'We Are Family', check out Wednesday's paper for those pictures. Also performing was a young man, Roman Lin, who captivated the entire audience with his piano playing. His execution seemed effortless as his fingers moved at seemingly lightning speed. Whether you like classical music or not Lin's performance made you stop and pay attention.
This picture gives you an idea of the number of School District One employees present. By listening to Roman, a freshman at Wilson High School, play the piano so expertly is a true testament to his performance ability. When I talked to Roman and asked him how long he has been playing he said he has played since he was 6 years-old. Way to go Roman and keep up the good work!
