Ernest Ward Presents Best Christmas Pageant Ever

The new drama club at Ernest Ward Middle School presented their first major production Tuesday night.

The students presented “The Best Christmas Pageant Ever”, a drama and musical presentation that focuses on the poorly-behaved children of the Herdman family, who discover the true meaning of Christmas through participation in a church play about the birth of Jesus.

The play was followed by a concert of seasonal music by the Ernest Ward chorus and bands.

Ticket proceeds from the event will go toward the purchase of new sound equipment for the school.
