Principal Marylin Dawson welcomed the many people – parents, grandparents, aunts, uncles, friends and neighbours who packed the gym for the annual Christmas Concert, which was held on Thursday, December 13th at St. Boniface School. It was standing room only. Cost for the concert was a food item . Ms. Dawson was over whelmed by the way that Maryhill celebrates the school community in all their endeavours.
The program began with the sign of our faith and a prayer.
