Elementary school plans traditional Christmas

The Russellville Elementary School Christmas program, featuring holiday classics, will be Dec. 18.

"It's pretty traditional; each class has about three songs," Rachel Gerlt, grades K-12 vocal music director, said.

Beginning at 6 p.m. at 13111 Park St., students in grades pre-K-2 will take the stage, dressed in formal attire, to perform.

Following them will be grades 3-5.

Gerlt said the audience should expect some "familiar tunes," along with new songs, solos and a recorder selection from the fifth-grade class.

The concert is free to the public and should conclude by 8 p.m.
