Holiday Sing

Each year, Irving Elementary School produces a concert the week before winter break. Our two music teachers spend hours teaching the students songs from around the world and rehearsing for the big day. This year's third graders sang In the Window, a Hebrew folk song, and Drew got to play a special instrument. They also sang The Twelve Days of Christmas, acting out each item that was given in the song. All the parents cracked up at the kids squatting on Six Geese A-Laying.

The highlight of the 2nd/3rd grade concert has always been the combined song performed with sign language, led by Mrs. Lococo. This year the students sang and signed The Hope of the Future, and it was just beautiful. At the end of the song, Mrs. Lococo was presented with a special quilt honoring her 31 years of teaching at Irving.
