Kids' Program


This time of year always brings about many Christmas activities. To get us in the Christmas spirit we attended Ryan and Tyler's school program Tuesday evening. Every year the 2nd - 4th graders do a Christmas play with music added for their program. The 4th graders are assigned all the parts each year and the 2nd and 3rd graders sing along with all the songs. This will be one of the few years that Ryan and Tyler are both involved with the exact same program. It was kind of neat! Our music teacher, Mrs. Schrag, always does a wonderful job preparing the students for the program and they performed well again this year. As a 4th grade teacher I'm always involved with running the microphones and participate in rehearsals for a couple weeks before the program. This always makes me take extra interest in the performance because I've seen how hard they worked. This year as a teacher and also a mother of a fourth grader, I was very proud! Ryan was a caroler and sang a solo for one verse in "The Wassailing" song. As a caroler he also did a dance with 9 other students. He did an excellent job! Tyler contributed as a great singer in the choir (2nd row, 2nd from left).
