Christmas School Party and Program

Ben’s class party was Thursday. He enjoyed lots of treats and got to bring a gift to share with the class. The next day was the all school program. Ben’s class sang “Everyone Clap Hands for Santa Claus”. It is a “rock and roll” song and the kids had tie-dyed t-shirts and got to rock out. Ben even did parts of the song in a low Elvis type voice when he practiced. They knew that one of the staff members was going to dress up as Santa and come out during their performance. Even though they were prepared,

they all stopped singing and moving and just stared with open mouths at Santa when he came out. Ben was so excited to ask me about it later and is still wondering if it was Mr. Jeremy or the real Santa.

Elizabeth’s class sang Jingle Bells. All week during rehearsal time she wouldn’t even go on the stage and had to be held. Miraculously the large crowd must have scared her into doing anything her teachers asked. She sat on stage politely (with pacifier) and even shook her bells now and then. She had a special shirt with bells on it that she was pretty proud of and will probably wear more this week to show off to other friends and family.
