I have no greater joy than to hear that my children are walking in the truth. 3 John 1:4
Dear Families,
Last Thursday, our K-3 grade students participated in their school Christmas program, “A Night Like No Other.” There is something about hearing the Christmas Story told from the perspective of young children. Though I’ve heard the songs and scripture countless times, they are new and fresh each time our youngest learners perform. In fact, they brought sentimental tears to my eyes just watching their faces and hand motions tell the story of Jesus’ birth.
Our elementary music director, Stephanie Hagen, put the program together simply and beautifully. The truth is, you don’t have to have a big, splashy show to tell the greatest story ever told. Add children, let them sing in the way that only they can, and the result is precious.
I would like to thank Mrs. Hagen for her work with our children. I teach a math class across the hall from her music room, and I often hear our students singing. She does a wonderful job with them! I would also like to thank you, parents, for supporting your students and our school program with your attendance at both the afternoon and evening performances. We captured some images from our afternoon performance, shared below.
My prayer each year is that hearts are touched by the message of our Savior’s birth. I know that mine certainly was.
In Christ,
Sherrie Gibelyou
