Hillwood's Christmas Party

Every Christmas, Hillwood School has a party, where all of the students and the students' parentsget together and celebrate another year. There's lots of food, and the students of Hillwood have a talent show that they put on for their parents.

The upper graders are going to sing, "A Happy Christmas" by John Lennon and "Silver Bells." The upper graders are also going to pretend they are famous artists, and talk to the audience about themselves in Spanish. The little kids   are going to sing a song in Spanish.

In addition, many of the students are going to do their own thing in the talent show, from playing a musical instrument to acting out a skit.

Also every year, Hillwood has its Secret Santa tradition. During this event, one of santa's deputies comes down and uses reindeer antlers to see if all the students have been naughty or nice. If they are nice, they get a present. Then, they have to guess who gave them the present. Miss Schmitt, shown in this picture in Muir Woods at the Hillwood cabin, will be leading much of the musical festivities.
