Holiday celebrations

On Dec. 11, two outstanding students, Jordyn Moravec from Foster School and Drake Bouchard from Marvin School, turned on the holiday lights at the Triangle. We are proud of their achievements.

The Dec. 12 Holiday Festival was a resounding success. The Lewis Middle School auditorium was nearly filled. The band gave us superb performances of traditional holiday tunes. The Marvin Elementary School chorus performed — more than just sang — several cheerful songs, and three students gave us readings on Hanukkah and Christmas. After the performance, the audience adjourned to the cafeteria for punch and cookies.
