This year’s Christmas Concert at St. Bernard School was nothing short of magical. The theme, “Home for Christmas,” beautifully captured the warmth and joy of the season. The church was packed with families and friends, all gathered to celebrate together as our students performed a variety of musical pieces.
The evening began with a touching and symbolic moment as our choir students processed into the church, each holding a candle and singing the powerful song “Go Light Your World.” This peaceful and inspiring opening set the tone for the rest of the evening. Following their procession, the 5th-grade and middle school choir took the stage to perform a beautiful medley of “Amazing Grace” and “O Christmas Tree.” Their harmonies were moving and filled the room with the spirit of Christmas.
Next, the 4th-grade recorder ensemble delighted the audience with a lively rendition of “March” from The Nutcracker, followed by the 2nd-grade bell choir, who added a peaceful and reflective note with their performance of “O Little Town of Bethlehem.” The 1st graders then brought energy and fun to the stage with their plate dance, spreading joy and excitement to all who watched.
Throughout the evening, the students sang familiar and beloved holiday songs that warmed everyone’s hearts. The students sang classic tunes like “Let it Snow” and “Please Come Home for Christmas,” bringing a touch of nostalgic cheer to the celebration. The preschool students followed, delighting the audience with their own sweet rendition of “There is a Little House.”
As the evening drew to a close, all the performers came together to sing “Shine, Jesus, Shine” and “Feliz Navidad.” The combined voices of students from every grade filled the church with an overwhelming sense of unity and celebration, reminding everyone of the true spirit of Christmas.
The concert’s bilingual introductions, offered in both English and Spanish, highlighted the diversity and inclusivity of our school community. It was a beautiful evening spent together, filled with music, joy, and love, as we celebrated the holiday season and the gift of being “Home for Christmas.”
Thank you to all the students, teachers, and families who helped make this night so special. It was a heartwarming experience that will be cherished for years to come.
