Hello GE Parents,
The students have been doing such a great job practicing for the Christmas program. I hope you all can make it this Wednesday or Thursday at 10am. The program will last about 15 minutes, followed by a small reception, in the Grant Fellowship Hall. The students also go to chapel this week where they will learn the story of Christ's birth and sing songs that celebrate the birth of baby Jesus.
I have included below the list of songs the students will be singing for the program next week.
Thanks!
Ms. Kimberly
