Last Week of School

After the Christmas concert, classes and other activities were a little more laid back.

Monday after school was our Intermediate Orchestra party, followed by our Small Group Christmas party in the evening.

Tuesday it snowed! I was involved in a spontaneous snowball fight during school!

Wednesday I invited Karen Rempel, piano teacher, to orchestra class to do a session on the Alexander Technique. It left us all feeling refreshed as we released tension in our necks.

Thursday I took the Guitar class to the yellow nursing home by the grocery store. We just sang and played a bunch of Christmas music, including some old German carols!

In the evening, I made a really random dinner, including bacon-wrapped dates.

On Friday we just had parties in Orchestra and Guitar class. At the end of the day we had chapel, reflecting on “Glory to God in the highest” – that this season is a time to bring glory to God.
