Three Wise Men and a Baby
Yesterday, Rosslyn Academy Elementary School presented its 2011 Christmas production. It was a fantastic pageant from the perspective of the stars of the night sky. This year Emma was literally the "star" as she had the role of the Star of Bethlehem.
Each year the entire elementary school participates in the Christmas production through either drama, instrumentals or the choir. This was the largest production yet with a such a large enrolment in the elementary. The theatre was packed out with rows of parents and guests standing at the back of the house.

Angels meeting the terrified shepherds
The sinister King Herod looks on as the Wise Men
who have followed the Bethlehem Star, come seeking
the true King of Kings
All of the children did a wonderful job singing some
funky versions of familiar Christmas carols and worship songs
In the end the lesson of the play was clear,
God sent his Son into the World because of God's love for us.
The greatest gift he wants from his children, is our love!
So proud of our little star!

join us for the Christmas Concert and stay over with us.

Erica and Kim
Once again, Erica and her friend Kim Remich teamed up! Along with Erica as the drama director and Kim as the program director, this year teacher Mark Statler joined the team as the 5th grade Music Director. They were very thankful for the army of parent and student volunteers who helped make this such a great program.
The stars!
