āSing it to the Heights is one of our favorite events of the year,ā said St. Columbkille Head of School William Gartside. āIn addition to the funds raised, the event gives our students an opportunity to not only showcase their own musical talents, but also to see firsthand the passionate and talented ĀŅĀ׊”æÉ°® students who bring joy to the community through their performances.ā
