On Dec. 5, Ms. Vance’s class was treated to a special activity: all twelve students were provided with an opportunity to see a live performance of “Charles Dickens’ A Christmas Carol.”

Ms. Vance’s parents donated tickets for the class to see the matinee performance at the Walnut Street Theatre in Philadelphia.

Students sat in awe at the theatre and were mesmerized by the actors and actresses, as well as the special effects. Needless to say, this was a gift the students are still talking about!
