Monday, December 19th, the sixth-grade performed their annual Christmas Program.  With the help from Mrs. Davies and Mrs. Anderson and their music abilities, the students danced, sang, and acted the story ‘Twas The Night Before Christmas. They performed for the student body in the morning and then had an afternoon performance for parents.

Wednesday, December 14th, the sixth-grade orchestra performed for the student body during the day and that night performed for the Nebo School Board.  They did a great job! The next night they held a Christmas concert for their parents.  

Mrs. Emily Fringer has been working with students two and three times a week since the beginning of school.  In our first year, we had twelve students participate in orchestra.  This year we have doubled to twenty-four students.  We are excited for the Spring Lake Orchestra program. 

Spring Lake Elementary students participated in the School Districts’ Christmas Card competition. The winner would have their card be the Districts official Christmas card that would be sent to over four thousand employees.  Two of our students were chosen as winners. Elliot Evan in Mrs. Janae Wilson’s fifth-grade was on the cover and received a $25 prize, and Natalie Rapier was featured on the inside, winning $10. Congratulations to both.

A Christmas Carol, by Charles Dickens was put on using Bon Ra Ku Puppets, on Friday, December 9th, 2011.

Bon Ra Ku originated in Japan. Puppets and Puppeteers are right on stage and in sight of the audience. The puppets are operated by two or more people, and sticks are used to move the head, arms, and feet. Puppeteers are usually dressed in black and hooded, which aids in blending into the background.
