The Christmas Piano Recital was held at the Cariboo Christian Life Fellowship (CCLF) on Dec. 13 under the expert guidance of music teacher Karen Fahrentholz. Karen has been teaching music students from beginners to Grade 6 for more than 30 years.
The hall was full of parents as they waited for each student to go and play their assigned piece of music. It was so quiet as the students played, but the applause was very loud at the end of each piece.
The church was decorated in a Christmas theme, making for a cosy atmosphere. Thirty-five students and approximately 45 guests in attendance.
Christmas concert
Slapshot Santa Scores Again was the theme of Mile 108 Elementary School's Christmas Concert on Dec. 19 at 12:45 and 6:30 p.m.
There are approximately 31 students involved from the Grade 7 class, with all the other grades being represented. It takes a tremendous amount of work to put on these productions by the students and teachers, so we say thank you to them all.
Christmas at 108 Mall
The parking lot was nearly full by 11 a.m., pancakes were selling like hotcakes do.
The supermarket was busy and Santa was attentively listening to the many requests from the youngsters, as well as some of the attending adults. The camera and computer were rapidly printing off the Santa pictures.
The gift basket raffle received an abundance of attention.
