Christmas Concert

I love the Sparkles elementary school.

They do things, and they do them well.

One of the things I enjoy most is the split of concerts and programs. In the winter the 1st and 2nd grade students WOW us with a Christmas show that is sure to get anyone into the Christmas spirit and then in the spring the 3rd and 4th graders bless us with a program filled with laughter and memories.
The programs are short and sweet and after,the hallways are filled with student art work to admire.
As a former teacher, I am grateful for the teachers that work so hard to put this on, as well as, the recognition that less is best.

So Thursday evening we attended the winter program "A December to Remember".
We chuckled at jokes,  heard songs about "Procrastinating" and "Wiping Out" and smiled at the contagious joy of these children.
After weeks of hearing Cooper humming bits and parts, it was cute to hear how it all came together.

Here is Cooper- front and center (first row standing behind the girl sitting in the teal sweatshirt)
He wasn't a huge fan of standing the entire time but it didn't stop him from singing and dancing with his classmates.

 This was the piece Cooper decided to hang in the art show... I can't wait to see his other creations in his portfolio.


A wonderful evening and another memory to cherish.
