Breakfast and snacks are provided throughout the event. All participating VocalEssence WITNESS Partner Schools are required to send at least one representative (teacher, specialist or administrator) to attend this half-day VocalEssence WITNESS Teacher Orientation Seminar, as it is a critical component in ensuring a successful WITNESS experience at your school.
