We just attended our last elementary school Christmas program. Camden looked beautiful.
The school has undergone a renovation over the summer and fall semester. The official ribbon cutting/dedication was at the start of the program. The two little elves were adorable. The fourth and fifth graders were on the stage, so Camden is in the picture (taking from the local paper) sitting to the right of the superintendent in the black suit. She is in an orange t-shirt...and biting her nails.
In the past, the Christmas program was only done by the 2nd-4th graders. Since the 6th graders moved up, all the programs throughout the year are now school-wide events. The place was packed! It was nice to have the kids spread out on the side bleachers (new) and the stage. We always like to sit in the balcony for the best views.
Sticking with the building renovation theme, the program had a construction twist. Several of the older kids were selected to be workers (hence the orange t-shirts) and had parts throughout.
In one song the workers (and some of their classmates) used huge tubes to accompany the singers.
She is on the other side of the piano, sitting down, because she had the littlest tube.
At one point the construction workers blew a fuse. Camden had a small part of this (although she will tell you the Mr. Chadd turned off the lights).
Camden is so Camden...the bounce makes me laugh every time! Once the lights were out, the kids sung the crowd favorite, "Light the Candles All Around the World."
The program was short and sweet (less than 45-minutes)...just perfect since we were on bleachers!
