A Very Merry Trojan Family Christmas

By: Kiersten Szczur

The Greater Johnstown High School is presenting its first annual Very Merry Trojan Family Christmas this Thursday, December 22, for all children of the school district along with their families. This event is sure to bring all of the joy and wonder typically associated with the holiday season to the hearts of the individuals who attend. From welcoming carolers at the door, to a visit from jolly old Saint Nicholas, the event replicates an ideal "Night Before Christmas." The event, which will take place in Johnstown High School's Cochran Auditorium is set to begin at 4:30 pm with a brief welcoming by Mr. Richard Unger and state representative, Bryan Barbin, occurring a half-hour later at 5. The students will be able to enjoy a reading of "The Night Before Christmas" with the accompaniment of a small drama presentation, just before helping themselves to a holiday meal with all of the traditional fixings. Each child who attends the event will receive a nice gift from Santa Claus before he sends them on their way and returns to the North Pole to continue his preparation for Christmas Eve. The event is planned to end between the times of 7:30-8pm. Thanks to the Greater Johnstown Key Club, along with numerous other sponsors, this Trojan Family Christmas can lead to tremendous memories which last within the minds of so many children for years!
