West Fork choir director says farewell

With the last day of West Fork’s 2016-2017 school year also came preschool-1st grade general music teacher and high school choir director Shelby Wilson’s last day with the district.

Since starting in 2012, Wilson has directed West Fork High School’s musicals, concert choir, show choir and chamber singers, and has handled the Sheffield Elementary concerts and musicals.
