Students attending West Ridge Academy had the wonderful opportunity of putting on a musical Christmas program for the residents at a local care center. They went on two separate occasions, with the girl's performing the first week and the boy's performing the next.
The program was created and directed by the youth themselves. Some of the highlights included a couple of gifted soloists, a narration of the Christmas story found in Luke 2, and some group performances of various traditional Christmas hymns. They performed beautifully!
Following the program, they stayed after to talk with the residents and to take them back to their rooms. All of the youth really enjoyed the chance they had been given to share some Christmas experiences and music with the wonderful residents in the care center. What a great way to start off the Christmas season by sharing their love and talents!
