The Allied Gardens – Grantville Community Council will sponsor a tree lighting ceremony on Thursday, Dec. 11, at 6 p.m. at the Waring/Zion Triangle. 

It’s a wonderful opportunity for the community to come together as a whole and engage in the upcoming joyous holiday season. Two Lewis Middle School band members will lead gatherers in a sing-along after students from Foster Elementary and Marvin Elementary light the tree.

Adding to the festivities, the Holiday Festival will be held at Lewis Middle School, Friday, Dec. 12, at 7 p.m. Students from Lewis and Marvin will sing, Lewis students will present dramatic readings, and the Lewis orchestra will entertain the audience with their holiday music. Refreshments will be enjoyed in the Lewis cafeteria after the festival. Everyone is welcome!
