FONDA – The Newell-Fonda High School jazz band and the Newell-Fonda speech team take the stage beginning at 2 p.m. on May 15 at the Fonda Arts Center. You will have an opportunity to see and hear close up the music that gave this jazz band its award-winning status in competitions this year under the direction of director Lee Plummer.

The Newell-Fonda speech team, coached by Cassie Fjerstad, will present works of prose, acting, public address, literary program and small ensembles by members Jordan Wilken, Kendra Sifuentes, Peyton Wilken, Abby Smith and Anna Tiefenthaler. Top this off with an atmosphere of camaraderie and a root beer float, and you have the makings of an afternoon of entertainment. All this at the Fonda Arts Center on the Northwest corner of Fourth & Main Streets in Fonda. As always, free admission, free refreshments.
