Our school chorus with Orff Ensemble had an amazing evening of music for their Winter Concert on Thursday, December  15 here at Odessa.   Together they performed a beautiful arrangement called African Noel, a story about Christmas with a catchy beat.  There were many other songs about winter, snow, Christmas, Hanukah, and Kwanzaa.

The following day, our chorus students donned their concert attire once again and traveled to two nursing homes in the area. We have a special tie with these two homes as they receive heartfelt cards written by our students through a program called, “Bring Smiles for Forgotten Seniors”.  https://www.facebook.com/Nursinghomesmiles/

The first being Sunshine Christian Home where we fit 90 students on a cute little stage.  Students were then able to stay, eat pizza, and mingle with the residents.

The second stop was Regency Residences.  We sang around a huge Christmas tree while the residents ate lunch.  During their dessert our students spread out amongst the tables and had a sing-a-long of popular Christmas songs.  It was a beautiful sight to see and hear them sing together!
