'Tis the Season
Christmas is a special time at Second Baptist School, from Lyrics and Lattes to the Lower School Christmas Chapel, there has been no shortage of fun and festivity.
Lyrics & Lattes | December 1
Kicking off December, our upper school arts students took over the Second Baptist Atrium with song and dance. With solo and group performances, onlookers were wowed by festive songs. Visual art students created live art pieces during the show, enhancing the live entertainment.
A latte REEL fun!
Combined Christmas Chapel - Upper and Middle School
Head Prefect Ellie Veeningen ‘24 planned a special joint Chapel for middle and upperschoolers, celebrating the Christmas season with songs of worship and a reading from the Gospel of Luke.
Festival of Christmas
This year’s Festival of Christmas included lower, middle and upper school arts students uniting in a symphony of talent. In between beautiful renditions of Christmas classics such as the choirs’ “Carol of the Bells” and band’s “Away in a Manger,” theatre students reinacted scenes from the very first Christmas night and the birth of our Savior Jesus Christ. Another fun aspect of this year’s show was the holiday sing-a-long, in which audiences participated in singing familiar carols. It was a Festival of Christmas to remember.
Winter Art Show
From watercolor dreams to 3D tape figure realities, the sixth floor library was transformed into a masterpiece-filled gallery of student artwork and expression. In a special exhibit show-off, students shared the meaning behind their pieces, bringing creativity to life and adding dimension to the show.
Lower School Christmas Chapel
Kindergarten students decked out in their Christmas finest, made a joyful noise in the Lower School Christmas Chapel. Their songs, and accompanying motions, warmed the hearts of every audience member as they focused on the reason for the season – Jesus’ birth. Of course, the annual reading of Luke 2 celebrated the beauty of God’s word. Students begin memorizing Luke 2 in kindergarten and end their time in lower school able to recite the entire chapter by heart.
