Horace Mann Elementary Presents Christmas Program

Horace Mann Elementary students gathered Monday night in the Heckart Performing Arts Center for the school's annual Christmas Program.

Every grade level performed a different pair of holiday season songs, with the Smith-Cotton High Jazz Band providing music during the transitions between groups. The students not only sang, but also played recorders, xylophones and kazoos.
