HOLIDAY HAPPENINGS @ SJS!!! CHRISTMAS CONCERT Our annual SJS Christmas program was a huge success!! The students (AND staff!) looked and performed their best and a great time was had by all! Thank you to Ms. Lowry, Mrs. Tinnes and Mr. McBride for doing such a wonderful job preparing our students for the program! We had a surprise or two…when the 5 graders and many staff members put together a band to play a couple of Christmas carols AND when the Baby Jesus’ (Emmalyn Vittetoe) little brother (Wyatt) wanted to get in the act himself by joining us on stage temporarily! You simply cannot plan for nor write in those most precious moments that are engraved on our memories forever! Among my thank-yous for a successful concert is one to Emmalyn’s parents, Kelsey and Michael, for allowing her to play this most important role in our annual nativity play! Other special and important moments… ü 3 of the students’ songs being sung in Spanish! ü several of the students’ songs being accompanied by guitars (Thank you, Mr. Lopez & Mrs. Tinnes!) ü 3 rd graders being accompanied by one of their own, Emma Horak! ü The prelude musicians: Grant Berdo Cecelia Mitchell Sarah Berdo Elyse Nichols Kate Flannery Jayla Stakland Emma Horak Melissa Stakland Lauren Horak Bobby Stakland We do owe an apology to the 3 year-old preschoolers as their names were unintentionally omitted from the program.
