2013 Christmas Program


The Recreation Room was filled with the sounds of joyful singing as the children performed for family and friends at our annual Christmas program. Our two-year-olds sang songs about Jesus' birth as well as the seasonal favorite, "Jingle Bells", which included a solo performance by one of the children! Ms. Ruth and Ms. Shana led the children. Then, our 3 and 4 year olds re-enacted the story of the first Christmas, led by Ms. Bennett and Ms. Jenny. The stage was filled with inn-keepers, shepherds, sheep, angels and wise men--along with Mary, Joseph, the donkey and of course, Baby Jesus. The children did a fantastic job reminding us all that Christmas is about the best gift of all--God's gift of love expressed in the birth of our savior, Jesus.

Season of Giving

The children in Room 3-4 have been busy preparing gifts for people in need. First they collected 53 canned good items for distribution through a Logan Square food pantry. Then, they created 73 special snowmen (made from athletic socks) for residents of an area Nursing Home. Ms. Bennett is the teacher in Room 3-4. She is assisted by Ms. Jenny.
