The Mother Teresa School students presented their annual Christmas concert on Tuesday evening and the school was filled with many youngsters and young families representing the growth of our district population. The junior high performed a play featuring a terrific choir of young singers with a rendition of ‘It Came upon the Midnight Clear’. The k-to Grade 6 students entertained with eight songs, but the pre-schoolers, as always, stole the show with one song, “ Ring the Bells”.
