Celebrating Christmas

Christmas is a perfect time to feel the joy and warmth of friends. The students of 4A and 4C sang carols together to say goodbye to an intense term and welcome Christmas holidays. We are especially grateful to Alonso who played the bassoon. The rest did quite well with their voices and tambourines!!! Merry Christmas to you all!! Enjoy the carol!!
