Holiday History

By Student Reporter Brenden Lopez

Mrs. Schmidt’s students performed their annual Christmas concert on December eighteenth this year in the Middle School auditorium. This year’s program was titled Holiday History because the kids performed songs that the parents have liked the most over the last twelve concerts. One of these songs is I Want a Hippopotamus for Christmas, which the third graders sang. The students had been practicing since November fifteenth and the dancers started practicing after Halloween. The fourth, third, second, and first graders, along with the kindergarteners all performed three songs each. Students that went to the performance said that it brought back memories from when they preformed the same songs with Mrs. Schmidt. They also said that when the third graders who sang Singing by Candle Light held candles, it made a cool affect. Another song they vividly remember is Jingle Bell Rock because all the lights were turned off and a strobe light was on, which was also sung by the third graders. Lastly, they said that all the songs had something added to them that made them livelier and exciting. Once again, Mrs. Schmidt and her students were able to put on a show that everyone enjoyed.
