SOUTH BELOIT - SAY Singers (Stateline Area Youth Singers) and Music teachers Haley Gotzche and Naomi Allen practice for their upcoming performance with the Willow Brook Middle School choirs for an evening of holiday music on December 18, at 6:30 pm.

Haley Gotzche loves her job as a 5th through 8th-grade choral and theater teacher at Willowbrook Middle School, 6605 Prairie Hill Road in South Beloit, Illinois. The same applies to Naomi Allen, who teaches music to Kindergarten through 4th-grade students at Prairie Hill Elementary School, 14714 Willowbrook Road, South Beloit, Illinois.

For the last four years, Gotzche has considered starting a chorus for students who love music and want to sing just for fun. In 2022, her thoughts became a reality. She started an after-school choral club: The SAY Singers (Stateline Area Youth Singers). Gotzche and Prairie Hill Elementary Music teacher Naomi Allen, meet with children in kindergarten through fourth grade to make music in the choir room at Willowbrook Middle School on the first Wednesday of every month, 7:00-8:00 pm.

The Say Singers will join the Willow Brook Middle School choirs for an evening of holiday music on December 18, at 6:30 pm.
