You're Invited! Pageant scheduled for December 2
Live animals, Santa highlight afternoon of fun and tradition
Adults and children of all ages are invited to join Foxcroft School students in celebrating the holiday season Sunday, Dec. 2, with a spectacular Christmas Pageant, followed by a visit from Santa Claus. The performance, which is free, will begin at 2p.m. in the Engelhard Gymnasium in the Athletic/Student Center.
Foxcroft’s pageant is a tradition that was started by Charlotte Haxall Noland, the founder of the School, nearly 100 years ago. Each December, Foxcroft’s new students and Chorale present the nativity story as a gift to the community. Noland’s script includes several characters you won’t find in the Bible and provides a musical and visual treat -- complete with live animals. Donkeys, goats, bunnies, and bird have all made appearances in recent years.
Non-stop Christmas music and beautiful costumes that have been part of the show for decades are also featured. Karin Thorndike, Chairman of Foxcroft's Fine Arts Department, directs the performance, assisted by Heide Hotchkiss, Jennie Wills, and other faculty members.Following the Pageant, Santa Claus will give the children in the audience gifts that have been prepared by Foxcroft students. The pageant is the culmination of a weekend devoted to community outreach and holiday activities at the School. The highlight of the weekend, however, is the Pageant -- an event not to be missed!
Foxcroft is located on Foxcroft Road (Route 626), four miles north of the center of Middleburg. For more information, call 540.687.5555.
