Summerhill celebrated the season to gather friends and family together to enjoy the holidays by holding its annual Christmas show. Instead of using the different classes to string together a story, they allowed the classes to choose which kind of individual performance they would like to do.
There was a penguin dance with the oldest students singing while the youngest danced, and a performance of “I’m Dreaming of a White Christmas” in sign language. Another class sang “Feliz Navidad” and there was a great reindeer dance to the tune of “Run, Run, Rudolph.” All in all it was a spectacular show.
After the performances there was a surprise visit by Santa Claus who brought along his bag filled with gifts for each student. Back at school everyone gathered again for a Christmas party. Overall the day went smoothly and the students were proud of their performances. — JEFF KRATZ
