"Crooning for Critters" is the theme of the Thursday, Oct. 13, concert of the Baker Sixth Grade Campus Choir. The concert, which includes animal-themed selections, will benefit the La Porte Animal Shelter.

The event begins at 7 p.m. in the gymnasium of the Baker campus, located at 9800 Spencer Highway in La Porte. The choir is under the direction of Tracy Rider.

Musical selections will range from "How Much is That Doggie in the Window?" to "Rubber Ducky" to "Everybody Wants to Be a Cat." Songs performed by the 120-plus members of the Baker Choir will be interspersed with readings of poetry and prose and performances of short skits.

A multimedia presentation including photos of the students' pets and success stories from the shelter will also be featured. Donations for the La Porte Animal Shelter will be accepted at the "doggie treat" jars at the doors.
