Christmas carols filled the gym and halls at Rees school as students performed and sang along at the annual Singing Around the Tree.  From Monday, December 19th to Wednesday, December 21st, the school joined in a celebratory assembly at the end of each day.  The Christmas tree was decorated and glowing as each grade level and the school orchestra performed their musical numbers.  The audience sang together many popular tunes like "Frosty the Snowman" and "Up On the Housetop" while they waited for the next performance.
