Holidays Around The World

Hemlock children love hand gestures.
Hemlock children love hand gestures. Primary children hosted magical Winter Festivals for parents, grandparents an friends during the month of December. Enthusiastic, smiling children dressed in velvets, plaids and holiday sweaters sang a selection of songs from around the world.

Under the direction of Ms. Kate Riker, the children sang “Hello to all the children of the world,” as well as songs from Mexico, Germany, Israel, Africa and England. The festivals were a very special treat for all who attended. Primary children put real meaning into the holiday season:
