Middle school students spent the day hosting prekindergarten and kindergarten aged children at their newest event, the Happy Birthday Jesus Party! Children from both The Brook Hill School and the Bullard Daycare joined middle school students for a party to celebrate the real focus of Christmas, the Christ child. Middle school students hosted parties by grade level as a service opportunity in which they led in a variety of activities all designed to point children back to the real focus of Christmas, activities such as caroling, listening to middle school orchestra ensembles play familiar songs of cheer, and a short dramatic skit narrating the birth of Jesus. A party isn’t a party without dancing and cake, so BH middle led the children in the Santa Shuffle as well as singing Happy Birthday Jesus in front of a faux cake constructed to look very real by new art teacher, Suzanne Shelton. Middle school students learned a valuable lesson today:  it is better to give than to receive; and that when we serve others, it blesses both the giver and the receiver!
