The annual Ronald S. Beasley All School Winter Program drew its usual standing-room-only crowd of parents, grandparents, siblings and friends on December 20. Every grade level, JK-4, performed songs representative of a variety of holidays as well as the winter season. Students ended the program with a crowd favorite, « Peace The Whole World Over. » Each verse of the song used the word « peace » in a language spoken by one of our MICDS families. This year it was sung in Italian, Afrikaans, Hebrew, Spanish, Hindi, French and Hungarian.
« The Beasley Winter Program celebrates holiday traditions and includes pieces for Diwali, Christmas, Kwanzaa, Hanukkah and New Year. Our young musicians celebrate with singing, dancing and instrument playing, » said Barb Spieler.
More than 100 students in 2nd, 3rd and 4th grade volunteered for a special leadership role and were featured on Orff instruments, tubano drums, vocal quartets and dances.
