Winter is here and the holidays are getting closer. As we approach the end of the year people start getting in the spirit in many ways. One of the ways is through music. At Proviso East High School, students were asked about music during the holidays. Here’s the Spotify Playlist we created.
The top 5 songs were gathered with students’ thoughts to why they chose that song as one of their Christmas/winter favorites.
