Christmas Celebrations 2012

Schneller School celebrated Christmas on Thursday 20 December 2012.
The academic department held its program at 1.30 PM. Teachers also had festive activities with their students in their classrooms.
The boarding department started its celebrations with a service of Lessons and Carols held at six o'clock in St. Michael's Church. Mr. Joseph Sleilati with five of his students began the service with Christmas music. He played the piano and his students played the clarinets. Mr. Sleilati playing the clarinet accompanied Rev. George Haddad who was playing the piano for the service.
A Christmas dinner followed the service. It was held in the boarding homes. Teachers, trainers, and members of staff were invited with their families. A few came and enjoyed the evening with our children.
Later in the evening Santa Claus arrived and distributed the Christmas presents. Two students form Family 7 (Boarding Home 7) took that Santa duty this year. They distributed presents to all students of the boarding department.
The Christmas presents were bought with a kind grant from Embrace the Middle East (formerly BibleLands). We express our sincere gratitude to Embrace the Middle East for enabling us to buy gifts for all our children, year after year.
We thank all our students, teachers, and members of staff who prepared the wonderful programs.
We especially thank our kitchen staff for preparing the delicious dinner.

Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year!
