Christmas Brings Happiness and Joy It is the favorite season of the year. Everyone seems to be filled with joy and excite- ment of what this Christmas holds in store for them. A lot of Monacan students get jobs at nearby malls and all around town for extra money. It is a time where giving is as much Santa’s Helper. Teachers show their Christmas spirit by dressing for the season, as Mr. George has done. fun as receiving, if not more. Teachers as well as students anticipate the long break from school and seem to have an extra sparkle in their eyes. There were many different projects this Christmas at Monacan to help give needy families a more memorable Story Time. Bringing a tear to every- one’s eye, Beth Otte tells a Christmas tale of Barrington Bunny during the Christmas program. Christmas. One tradition at Monacan is the WRVA Shoe Fund sponsored by Mr. Bill Broaddus. Over $300.00 was raised in order to purchase shoes for people who could not even afford one pair. Mr. Broaddus would jump from ta- ble to table at lunch and ask for donations. Everyone dug down in their pockets after hearing the speeches inspir- ing speeches as the ones he gave. During the Christmas assembly all the boxes of canned goods which were col- lected earlier were put in front of the stage. Every homeroom was able to fill up at least one box and the seniors were able to collect a considerable amount of money for needy families. At the Christmas as- sembly, the mixed Chorus sang and the Concert Band played all of our Christmas fa- vorite. Any Scrooge — who entered the assembly with a frown left with a smile on his face. Another club that brought Christmas cheer to needy families was Future Business Leaders of America. They adopted a mother and three young children. All the mem- bers brought presents for ei- ther a child, or the mother and at the Christmas social they wrapped the presents. The French Club also shared their Christmas cheer. The mem- bers made cards and then went to Johnston-Willis Hospi- tal one evening and gave out the cards to patients while Christmas Caroling in the halls.
