Pre-School Musical! December Gifts

By By Sally K. Albrecht & Jay Althouse Produced by Allan Billingsley

Our students will learn about December holidays and gift-giving traditions around the world through rehearsals in this musical, December Gifts. Here's the perfect way to celebrate ALL the December holidays! Traditions vary with each holiday, but all have one thing in common—the tradition of exchanging gifts. Every student will have a speaking role and will learn over 5 songs to make this musical experience complete. While rehearsing, the students will learn the value of sharing and giving their gift of music to the community. Come join us for this very meaningful holiday musical for our preschoolers!
