A Holiday Sing-Along

The excitement of Matthew Paterson Elementary School’s holiday sing-along started even before the first note was sung. 

“Look, there’s Santa signing in,” a kindergartner said as his class walked by the front door. “Holy Moly!” 

“Do you think it’s the real one?” a classmate asked.     

It wasn’t, but the MPES PTO members dressed as Santa, Frosty the Snowman, the MPES Panda and lots of elves provided some extra entertainment as music teacher Syndey Gaspar played all the greatest holiday hits on the piano.  

The Twelve Days of Christmas was the biggest crowd pleaser of all.  

From Teacher Michelle Belasco as the Partridge in a Pear Tree to Principal Jennifer Darling as the Drummers Drumming, school faculty took to the stage and acted out all the rest. They were callers calling, maids a milking, lords a leaping, ladies dancing, pipers piping and more. For a while, the audience couldn’t even continue singing, they were laughing so much.
