As Harker prepared for the holiday break, first graders spread some cheer on the afternoon of Dec. 13 at the annual Grade 1 Holiday Show, directed by lower school music teacher Carena Kay. Students gathered on the stage at the Bucknall Theater to sing a collection of tunes celebrating the holiday season, including classics such as “Frosty the Snowman” and “Winter Wonderland,” as well as “Spin a Little Dreidl,” “Cold Snap” and others.

About halfway through the show, a group of grade 1 dancers performed a special routine, choreographed by Jessalyn Espiritu. Between songs, students performed amusing vignettes that also served as segues from one song to the next.
