The Most Musical Time of the Year

November 19, 2025
By Michele Leach, MELM Music Teacher

Greetings from the music room at McAlder Elementary!

We are hard at work as we head into the final stages of preparing our Christmas performances to be shared with our community. The students are memorizing Scripture, learning to work as a team, and striving for excellence in all they do, say, and sing! Our goal is that the singing, speaking, drama, costumes, and motions will all impact our community by glorifying God.

We are blessed to be able to celebrate the real meaning of Christmas with all of you. As stated in one of our musicals: “We could sum up the whole Christmas story in one verse: John 3:16. ‘For God so loved the world that He gave His only Son, and anyone who believes in Him can have eternal life.’”

Please join us at one of our many performances, which will all be held in the gym on the McAlder Campus. We look forward to seeing you there!

Kindergarten & Grade 1 - Monday, December 15, at 10:00 a.m. and 6:30 p.m.

For unto us a Child is born, unto us a Son is given; and the government will be upon His shoulder. And His name will be called Wonderful, Counselor, Mighty God, Everlasting Father, Prince of Peace. Of the increase of His government and peace there will be no end.

—Isaiah 9:6–7a (NKJV)
