Wednesday, our afternoon was spent participating in a sing-along caroling event held in the school gymnasium. Students sang Christmas carols (and one Hanukkah tune) with the school's teachers and got into the holiday spirit.
Thursday the Dansville Jazz Band came to play for us, and even gave students the opportunity to play with the band! Students from Mrs. P.'s class were invited to go up on stage and play instruments alongside members of the band, giving them the chance to showcase some of the skills and rhythms they have learned in music class this year. The latter half of the day was spent by our other guests, the RH Singers, who treated us to an afternoon of song and Christmas cheer. We would like to extend our gratitude to both the Dansville Jazz Band and the RH Singers for their wonderful visits and generosity. Happy holidays to you all!
And of course, Friday was dedicated to the School of the Holy Childhood's annual Christmas party, a day-long event filled with music, food and fun! Students from each classroom met around the school circle to greet a parade of firefighters, as well as Santa, Mrs. Claus and Rudolph! Everyone then moved to the cafeteria to receive gifts from Santa, and were treated to lunch with the Henrietta Fire Department's firefighters.
Happy holidays everyone! See you next year!
