We're deep into the school
year, and things are hopping
at Huron Christian School.
Obviously, preparing for,
and presenting our Christ-
mas program took up a lot of
our time leading up to the
Christmas break. "Mayhem
in Bethlehem" was a re -tell-
ing of the first century
Christmas story, but this
time through the eyes and
lenses of a twenty-first

century television news
team, such as CNN, Fox
News, or CBC. What resulted
was a hilarious adventure as
the Nosy News Network
(NNN) looked into the major
events surrounding Christ's
birth. Our matinee and
evening presentations were
both well attended, as the
whole student body partici-
pated either as actors or
choir members.
Our last day before the holi-
days is always a highlight as
students gathered in the gym
in a cozy setting of candle and
Christmas lights, for a retelling
of the Christmas story inter-
spersed by some of their
favourite carols. After that,
they went into the community
in smaller groups, to local sen-
ior's homes and businesses in
town, sharing the joy of
Christmas through caroling.
The resulting smiles on peo-
ple's faces showed that the
students made a connection
through their singing. Hot
chocolate and a pizza lunch at
school were followed by an
hour of family skating at the
arena. What a perfect way to
start the Christmas
celebrations!
Other highlights of the past
month included a day spent at
the Stratford Christian School
by our grade 4 - 8 classes to
participate in a literacy work-
shop lead by award-winning
writer of children and adult
literature, Sigmund Brouwer.
They also had an opportunity
to work with their peers from
the Stratford school in a writ-
ing activity/workshop. In early
December our grade 2/3 class
traveled to Wingham to spend
a day with their grade 2/3
counterparts and pen pals
from the Listowel Christian
School. These classes have
been using letter writing as a
way of learning and practicing
their writing skills. Karin likes
pen pals, "because instead of
talking in person, you get to
talk in letters. It's a different
way to communicate that you
don't usually get to do'
Upcoming events: The
month of January will bring
after school skating each
Monday, speech and storytell-
ing preparations, hockey team
practices, chess and robotics
clubs begin, preparations for
the annual Pancake supper in
early February, and the daily
anticipation of snow days!
There's never a dull or quiet
moment at HCS.
