Belfield Public School

Last night, Belfield Public School kicked off the holiday season with our grades 5–12 Holiday Program. Earlier today, we shared photos from our elementary performances, and now we’re excited to highlight our grades 7–12 students.

We were thrilled to see one of our largest audiences in attendance and are so grateful to everyone who spent the evening celebrating the season with us. Thank you as well for supporting Belfield Close-Up, and to all who donated their time and talents to make the fundraiser a success.

We are truly blessed with an outstanding and supportive community. A special thank you to Mrs. Klein for her dedication to our music program. The 7–12 choir’s signed performance of Silent Night was incredibly moving and something we won’t soon forget.

Thank you for an evening filled with spirit, celebration, and togetherness. What a wonderful performance!

The annual Christmas Concert showcased the musical talents of our 5th and 6th grade students along with the high school band and choir, who demonstrated remarkable skill and dedication under the guidance of Mrs. Rachelle Klein. The performance highlighted the students' musical abilities and the exceptional instruction provided by our music department. We extend our appreciation to Mrs. Klein and the students for their hard work and commitment to creating a memorable musical experience. Season's greetings to all. 🎄🎵
