Simsboro School gets into holiday spirit

Simsboro School hosted a Christmas program for students in grades pre-k through fifth grade on Friday, Dec. 16.

Families were invited to attend. Students sang Christmas songs and recited various Christmas poems, in the auditorium to a packed house.

Following the musical program, families were invited to enjoy a Deck the Halls Art walk with their children. Each child had a piece of Christmas themed art on display. Also in the art walk, each grade had a Christmas tree with various Christmas book themes, decorated with ornaments designed by each student. Several examples of these trees included the Kindergarten Grinch tree that was oh so grinchy and the second grade gingerbread tree that was sweet and magical.

The whole event was special, as the school have not had an event if its kind on several years.

Melane Slocum, librarian, planned and led the musical. Leigh Nugent, art teacher, planned and led the art walk. Countless teachers, administrators and maintenance staff joined in to help make the day a success.
