MS Highlights This Week - Dec 2-6
December Happenings
With the Christmas Bazaar and Tree Lighting ceremony last weekend, we have officially entered the Christmas holiday season. This month is loaded with festivities, so we hope you mark your calendars for all of the events.
Grade 5-8 Christmas Band Concert Kicks Off Season
Concordia Band conductors, Ms. Martha Seibel, from Elementary School, and Mr. Mike Shirk, from Middle School, led several groups of talented musicians in displaying their music skills while also raising the Christmas spirits. The four bands performed a mixture of holiday classics and newer holiday arrangements.
The Christmas concert series continues next week with the Grade 5-8 Christmas Strings concert on Tuesday, December 10th, and the Grade 5-8 Christmas Choir concert on Thursday, December 12th.
MS Drama Brings on the Dickens
Mr. Danny and his enthusiastic drama cast and crew have been hard at work for the past few months in preparing to deliver a Christmas holiday classic, “A Christmas Carol” by Charles Dickens. The holiday classic receives a new spin, as the Middle Schoolers put their own special touch on the performance.
Tickets go on sale Monday, December 9th, and are available in the PC Commons.
Performances: Tuesday, December 17 and Wednesday, December 18, 6:00-7:30 p.m., Rittmann Theater
