Natividad Internationale -- our holiday gift
December 22, 2008
It was the most fun we've had altogether-- students and faculty -- performing at the annual Christmas program this past Friday evening in Bakken Auditorium. Natividad Internationale celebrated cultural communities around the world, and the children sang songs in different languages, from Hebrew and Japanese to Spanish and French. From the preschoolers' rendition of O Tannenbaum (complete with a teacher on stage dressed as Christmas tree!) to the fifth graders accompanying their kindergarten "buddies" on percussion instruments for salsa music, the program showcased the talent of our students.  The third and fourth graders danced their way across the stage and played their recorders, and the first and second graders charmed us with It's a Small World. Even the 26-member preschool and elementary faculty, accompanied by Hawaii's most well-known salsa artist Rolando Sanchez on the conga drum, sang in their debut performance as a chorus!  The holiday performance, expertly directed by music teacher Diane Koshi, was a fitting blessing for the newly renovated Bakken Auditorium, as well as a simple, heartfelt gift of appreciation to our parents and friends of Mid-Pacific Institute this Christmas season.  Special thanks to the `Ohana who set up a dazzling variety of sweets after the program.
