Some 20 Vandegrift students, who are from all over the world, brought holiday cheer to about 20 students at River Place Elementary, who are also from other countries.
“The purpose of the trip was to spread cheer and to build relationships,” said Nazarene, the English as a Second Language teacher at VHS who organized the event.
Viper students – originally from China, Italy, Japan, Russia, Ukraine, Nicaragua, Puerto Rico, Taiwan, El Salvador, Guatemala, Spain, Venezuela and Mexico – connected with RPE students while singing versions of “Jingle Bells” and “Feliz Navidad” accompanied by guitar. Then Nazarene and some Vipers sang “Mary Did You Know”.
