The magnetism of students’ presence at A.L. Horton Elementary School was contagious when they performed their Christmas concert on December 14.

Mr. Barkwell was the director of this production. The event began with EIPS Trustee Randy Footz issuing greetings through a video.

This event had a soda shop setting and was a musical about getting into the spirit of Christmas.

Throughout the acts, students put a quarter in the jukebox when they announced what holiday hit they wished to sing and dance to.

Watching the concert unfold was similar to being in the magical world of childhood when listening to the children’s expressive and angelic voices.

Included with the concert was the Ukrainian Language and Culture program singing St. Nicholas.

Also, the First Nations, Metis and Inuit students read Metis Christmas Mittens by Leah Marie Dorion where Leah’s artwork was shown on a smartboard.

A video was shown which was created by the LINKS class singing Christmas songs. As well, a video was made of the staff performing different songs with hand bells.
