The kids have a new principal at school and she has done a lot of things different since she's been there. Most of the things have been inconsequential to us, but one of the most important things is her attempt to involve the parents a whole lot more. The old principal was great and we had the chance to interact with him numerous times, but this new principal seems keyed in on getting the parents as involved as possible. This new characteristic allowed her to decide to have a "Christmas Sing" for the parents and immediate family to attend this year. Each grade usually does a little singing thing, but in the past, they have only presented it to the other members of the school. So you can imagine how excited Tate and I were to go this year when they invited the immediate families to come and see. We were sad not to be able to invite Nana and Papa, but the principal promised that next year they would open it up to friends and grandparents as well. Tate and I had a blast watching all of the fun songs that they performed - each grade sang 2 songs and it was quite the production getting each grade on and off the stage in an organized manner! Of course, 4th grade (Zach's grade) and 1st grade (Hailey's) were the two right before the kindergarten kids - which were the end. But it was still fun and Tate loved it. When first grade came out, they were all decorated in elf hats and polka dot hats - it was so cute. You can see Hailey here in her little red elf hat.
They sang "Icabod Elf" and "When Santa Got Stuck Up In The Chimney." It was so cute and we loved every minute of it!
Next it was fourth grade's turn - you can see Zach on the top row - in the center of the picture.
They sang "Nice Nice Christmas" and "Donde Este Santa Claus."
Tate and I had a blast watching the program and we even recorded the songs so Dad could see them too. We sure can't wait for the Christmas Sing next year, way to go Zach and Hailey, we sure are proud of you!
