Last night was the first big performance of the year! La fête d'hiver: Winter Celebration! 11 classes, 12 songs and 400+ people were there! By the grace of God, it all went smoothly. It helped that we had two rehearsals the past week. I feel very relieved that it is over though! I'm already brainstorming for "La fête de la musique" in March. I think we'll go with a similar program but I'd really like each class to get to play instruments with their songs. It would be so great if the 2nd and 3rd graders could play the new Orff barred instruments too!
In other news, my DonorsChoose field trip to the symphony in February was funded on Monday! DonorsChoose is covering the cost of the bus and 40 of the tickets. I found out about this camera giveaway today that would be wonderful to take pictures of the field trip and other DonorsChoose projects in the future. Check it out! http://www.ohsoposhphotography.com/blog/?p=5458
This is truly the season of giving and I am inspired by this photographers' desire to give back.
One of the highlights of last night was seeing all of the families of the students together and celebrating their students learning. You could really feel the shared pride and love radiating from everyone there. Joyeux Noël! Merry Christmas!
