Richland One Schools to Host Holiday Events

Richland One schools will be filled with the sound of music, laughter and joy this holiday season as students perform a variety of holiday plays and concerts. There’s something for everyone including a performance of a Jamaican Christmas song, ’50s-era version of Reindeer Hand Jive, a step show and poems spoken in Spanish. Teachers and other staff join will in the fun, too. Faculty at one school will be strutting the catwalk for their annual crowd-pleaser called the North Pole Fashion Show.

A number of school performances are listed below. Unless stated otherwise, there is no admission fee to these events. Please note that the dates and times of these performances may be subject to change. Parents who have questions should contact their child’s school for additional information.
