Geez, it's Christmas time already. Just yesterday it was the 4th of July..As you get older the years go faster! S L O W down!!!....I had the privilege to attend Coralville Elementary and Coralville Jr. High....I spent 10 years. k-9 in what is now called Coralville Central Elementary. All the kids in Coralville went there until about 1963 or so when Kirkwood Elementary opened. EVERY year we had a HUGE Christmas 'show' in the gym. In those days the north 20' or so was a Stage, with storage for chairs underneath. Each grade level would put on a 'show' of some sort. We all filed in, grade by grade, and sat on the floor. The older kids sat farther back...perfect for pushing and shoving etc..We had to take music, so each grade level did a song, a teacher usually played the piano, and all in all we had a great time. Did I mention that we had Christmas trees in most of the class rooms? HORROR!!!! We made decorations, we put presents underneath, (stuff we made in Art etc) We sang CHRISTMAS carols, songs, stories etc. THE SHAME OF IT!! We had fun and everybody took part. Parents brought CHRISTMAS cookies, treats etc. We then had a CHRISTMAS vacation for a few days...
SO, Merry Christmas to you, and to you a good 'day'!!
