Greendale third-graders perform for our December PTO meeting.
On Wednesday, November 30, second and third grade students from Greendale Elementary School got into the holiday spirit when they attended the Johnson City Symphony Holiday Concert at Freedom Hall. The program consisted of traditional holiday favorites, as well as musical accompaniment of a reading of “Twas the Night Before Christmas” by Mr. Josh Smith, of 11 Connects Evening News. It was helpful for our third-graders to be members of the audience during this performance, as they had been preparing for their own holiday concert on Thursday, December 8! Their program consisted of some traditional tunes like “Silent Night” and “We Wish You a Merry Christmas,” as well as some relatively unknown songs like “Zumba Zumba,” a Christmas song from Spain. Soloists included the following students: Connor S., Haleigh B., Seraiye J., Phoebe P., and Natalie S., and all of the third-grade students accompanied one song with percussion instruments! In addition to performing for our PTO meeting, the students also presented a school-wide assembly on Thursday, December 15, concluding their show with a sing-along. What a wonderful way to begin the Christmas season!
