December at SBEC

December is a busy month at SBEC as students, parents, and teachers join to celebrate the Christmas season, and remember the birth of the Christ child.

The choral department began the celebration on December 1 with a “Madrigal Feast,” a fundraising event staged with colorful drapery and renaissance costumes and decorations in the main lobby. Donors ate a three course meal and were entertained by members of the high school choir and theatre department. In early December, members of the Junior High Student Council collected money to deliver “Candy Grams” to students and faculty. This is a unique fund raising way to show appreciation for other students and teachers.

During the first week of December, the school’s Christmas card, was mailed. It was designed this year by senior Erin Pentecost.

On December 7, almost 200 students in Pre K, Junior K and Senior K presented the annual Kindergarten Christmas program, entitled “Keep Christmas With You,” to parents, grandparents, relatives, and friends.

Pre K Students Sing with Joy.

The high school fine arts chapel, consisting of choral and instrumental music together with dramatic presentations, is scheduled for December 12.

 

The home mission class has led the school in securing almost 1,200 toys and money donations for children who live in the inner city area of Nashville. The members of the class will take semester exams early so they can leave on their mission trip on December 12, present the gospel to families in the inner city, deliver the gifts to the children at a Jesus Birthday party, and perform some designated service projects.

On December 13, the Parent Teacher Student Fellowship (PTSF) will prepare a special Christmas Brunch to honor and thank teachers and staff. On Friday, December 14, before school starts, the 5^th and 6^th grade choir will sing Christmas carols in the main lobby to students and parents.

Our Christmas break begins on Wednesday, December 19. After celebrating Christmas with their families, our varsity basketball teams will play in the Magnolia Heights Christmas Classic Tournament.

Although there are many activities happening this month at SBEC, it is our hope that everyone will celebrate the birth of the savior on that silent night so long ago and will experience the joy and peace that only He can bring.
