Kelly Road secondary's drama department presents The Jungle Book next week. On Dec. 10 to 13. Audrey Rowell's Grade 11/12 drama class will whisk audiences away to the jungles of India for the beloved Rudyard Kipling tale of Mowgli and his animal friends Baloo, Bagera and some less savoury characters like Kaa the snake, a wild tribe of moneys and Sher Kaan the sinister tiger. Tickets are $5 for students, seniors and children or $10 for adults.

The choir of Highglen Montessori Elementary School enjoyed the opportunity to be part of the “Christmas Night of Music” at Vanier Hall Wednesday night.

Two students have initiated the C & L Operation Shoebox for children in Prince George. A box for a boy and a girl will be made up in each classroom and given to the Salvation Army to be distributed as part of their programs. Students are excited to give to those in need locally.
