The most wonderful time of the year!

Today, as the Unicorn 4 year old class was walking through the community centre hallway, they heard the choir singing.  The children commented to the teachers on what they were hearing, and everyone gathered near the doorway to listen.  The choir members noticed the children and invited them in to join along!  The students were thrilled and performed two holidays songs for the choir, who in turn, joined in for Rudolph the Red Nosed Reindeer and then treated the students to a choral round.  The choir invited the students back to join them anytime!

Here is a sample of the musical fun!
