The Week Before Christmas in ESI!

Twas the week before Christmas and all through the school. All the students were busy, and that

was so cool.

The projects were started, the kids were aware. That Old St Nicholas soon would be there.

The children were working hard all day long. While inside the halls were filled with fun song.

And teachers were waiting for December Seventeen. When up go their feet in front of the widescreen.

When outside the school there arose such a clatter. We sprang from our desks to see what was the matter.

Away to the window we flew like a flash. “Slow down” said the teacher “the window might smash!”

The sun was shining on fresh fallen snow. As outside we looked on white blankets below.

When what to my wondering eyes should appear. A school bus and cab that filled us with cheer

As we looked out more closely, to our great surprise. There were 38 feet and 20 bright eyes.

“What’s that Mrs. Wood?” said the ESI class. “Look at the red suit and the buckle of brass.”

“Can anyone guess who came out here today?” “In a big yellow bus, instead of a sleigh.”

“It’s Santa and all of his special reindeer!” “At St. Boniface School to fill us with cheer.”

Now Dasher! now, Dancer! now, Prancer and Vixen! On Comet, on Cupid, On Donna and Blitzen!

To the North Pole please take all this Calgary snow. But please come back soon to our city below!

As we all settled down in the classroom that day. With talks of St. Nick and his Big Yellow sleigh

The kids were excited by such a great sight. Merry Christmas to all and to all a Goodnight.
