On December 18, 2024, nearly all OLG” s 151 students (and their teachers) participated in a Christmas program written by the authors of the Gospels. Written and directed by school Vice Principal, Brother Chris Saidon, OFM, Conv., the script, read by teachers and pantomimed by students was entirely composed of passages from the Gospel according to Saints Luke and Matthew.
Interspersed throughout were lively Christmas carols sung by students from each grade level. In a nod to the importance of Spanish at this dual-language lower elementary school, the little ones performed upbeat versions of Campanas de Belen and the crowd favorite, El Burrito Sabanero.
The entire 8th grade took part in the “live Nativity” at the end of the program. Cookies and hot cocoa followed on the patio and the staff wished all families the most joyous of holiday seasons.
