The holidays are upon us and what better way to celebrate the season, then to watch our primary children perform their “December Gifts” program?  This year, Ms. Dian was excited to teach a multicultural, upbeat program to our youngest students.

She selected this program because she felt that it did a good job in representing the major holidays celebrated in our country, and it got the children singing and dancing enthusiastically.

Not only did the students learn six songs with multiple verses, but every kindergarten student helped weave the story of the songs by speaking a part of the narrative.

For some of our youngest students, this was their very first public performance at FMS. Despite some butterflies in their stomachs, it was a real chance for them to feel the excitement of performing in front of their families.

Not only did the children perform for their families on the FMS stage, but last week both kindergarten classes walked to a local senior living facility, Sunrise of Henderson, and delivered the whole show to the residents.

It was truly a gift for the residents to be serenaded so sweetly by our students. The finale, “The Best Gift of All,”  really summed up the spirit of the performance by emphasizing the truth…“the best gift of all doesn’t come wrapped up in paper, the best gift of all comes from the heart.”  Just for a brief moment, our students helped spread joy and love to an audience that clearly appreciated their gifts.

Ms. Dian was very pleased with all of the primary performances and was very grateful for the parents in P2 who provided the beautiful decorations that dressed our stage.

Ms. Dian also wishes all of the students a safe and restful winter break, and may the time with their families be happy and joyful.
