Grisell Rios, 4, sits with Santa Claus in the hallway of Gust Elementary School, Dec. 18. The school's eight classrooms of early childhood education had two singing performances and a chance to meet Santa Claus on the last day of school before winter break.
Qalil Freeman, Audrey Gammon and Madeline Dowdle sing and clap during the performance. Chidlren sang and danced to “We wish you a Merry Christmas,” “Rudolph the Red-Nosed Reeindeer,” “Jingle Bells” and “Feliz Navidad.”
In the post-concert reception back in class, Genesis Loya-Tadeo and Karen Hernandez say good-bye for the winter break to their teacher (center), Rachel Bernard.
David Grajada-Gonzalez and Luis Fibueroa-Chacon raise their hands to wish their parents a Merry Christmas in the song “Feliz Navidad.”
Isabella Trillo, Andreas Casales and Jeanette Blea are decked out in red tops with fancy hats. Children dressed up for the concert with either a santa cap, an elf hat or antlers.
Madison Tafoya projects her voice through the auditorium.
