Christmas & Hanukkah Sing-Along
The last day before our 2-week break is a whole-school assembly where each grade level sings a song – and everyone else can sing along. The 4th and 5th grade Chorus stands up front, sings 2 songs and then helps to lead the singing. After each grade sings a song, we finish by singing several songs together. Here are our songs.
