The crowd laughed at all the cuteness, the comedy, and the comedy of errors.

Jenny Agapiou's Pre-K class sang "Happy Birthday" to baby Jesus. Claudia Larkin's Kindergartner's, led by Susan Olive, sang and performed "Frosty the Snowman". Kimberly Scoggin's first grade class sang and danced to "Rudolph the Red Nose Reindeer". Stephanie Lucio's second grade class sang and performed "Go Christmas". Dianna Lancaster's third grade class performed the classic tale, "Twas the Night Before Christmas". Tina Rayborn's fourth graders performed "Leroy the Redneck Reindeer". Rose Henson's

fifth graders sang and performed the Beach Boys' song "Little St. Nick". Susan Irons' sixth grade A sang and danced to "Rockin' Around the Christmas Tree". Patricia Hadley's sixth grade B sang "Silent Night".

After the performances, Santa made a surprise visit and took pictures with the classes. Then, the children and their families went back to the classrooms for lots of goodies at the Christmas parties.
Six-year-old Conner Orndorff could hardly wait for his turn for a little oneon one with Santa. When he was granted permission to give the whiskers a test tug, Conner’s face lit up and he announced incredulously: “It IS real!” Van’Go’photos
