'I Want Christmas to be Given Back to Our Children in our Schools': Perry Hall Conversations
One Patch reader, and concerned parent, is upset with what she says was the lack of Christmas recognition at a local school.
By Brian Hooks
Over the holidays, Patch reader Shannon Webb attended a concert at Perry Hall Elementary School, where her daughter attends fifth grade.
To Webb's dismay, the holiday concert did not mention Christmas or the figure Christmas celebrates—Jesus Christ.
Webb wrote on Patch that two Hanukkah songs, a song in Spanish and a Kwanzaa song were included, but she did not hear any mention of the biggest Christian holiday of the year.
"I want Christmas to be given back to our children in our schools," Webb writes. "If our children are going to sing about anything during a holiday concert, Christmas needs to be included."
