Choir Director Shannon Gilkeson shared her thoughts on the upcoming event, expressing her hope that the Christmas Spectacular will create lasting memories for the families of students and staff. In a world often overshadowed by commercialism, Ms. Gilkeson emphasized the importance of creating meaningful experiences, stating, “Christmas is so commercialized, and kids rarely remember gifts. Instead, they remember the experiences they have from the special things they do with their families. I really hope our Christmas Spectacular can be one of those happy memories.”
