The Folsom School Choir helped get everyone in the holiday spirit at the Borough Hall tree lighting. Under the direction of Mrs. Schmidt, the talented 2nd-4th graders (with guests from middle school) sang I Want a Hippopotamus for Christmas, Rudolph the Red Nosed Reindeer, We Wish You a Merry Christmas, Deck the Halls and finally welcomed Santa by singing- Santa Claus is Coming to Town.

7th Grade students modeled the steps of mitosis using gummy worms.
