WEEK of January 2, 2006 |
“All Together Now” for the All-School Holiday Sing Singing together, one of the joys of childhood, was shared by every member of the school community on the morning of December 16 in the Lower Gym, at the All-School Holiday Sing. Led by science teacher Janet Villas, other members of the faculty, and Upper school performers, this is one of the most joyful and memorable events of the school year. Lower School choral singers, directed by their teacher Piper MacLeod, had their first public performance and sang a beautiful song in Hebrew. Other popular tunes included “Rudolf,” “We Need a Little Christmas” from the Broadway show “Mame,” and “Feliz Navidad.” The culmination of the event was an amazing rendition of the “Twelve Days of Christmas.” Each day is assigned to a corresponding class with first graders as a partridge in a pear tree, fifth graders as five golden rings, and twelfth graders as twelve drummers drumming. Classes stand, sing their part, and do a brief pantomime every time their number is called. For the first graders this is an awesome responsibility as they pop up twelve times in the course of the song.
