Winter Wonderland at Serra High School



It turns out the Mayans did not predict the world’s end on 12/21/12; and they also didn’t predict it would snow at Serra High School on the same day.  Thanks to Community sponsor, Dr. Bronner’s All-One Ark Magic Soaps, students and teachers were treated to a frosty surprise on the Friday before winter break.  When Conquistadors went into their fourth period classes, Serra was the picture of a typical Southern California High School the day before winter break.  Sun in the sky, slight chill in the air, students rushing to class in their shorts and sandals, and palm trees soaking up the sunshine.  When the bell for lunch rang, “Let It Snow” was piped into all the rooms through the intercom and students emerged from the buildings, unknowing that their campus had been transformed into a veritable winter wonderland.

The trees, buildings, windows, pathways were all covered with what looked like…. snow.  Students and teachers were elated and surprised by the site.  The front of Serra’s library was the wintery focal point.  The entire façade of the building was frosted from top to bottom.  This made the perfect backdrop for Serra’s choral ensemble, which assembled on a stage in front of the library.  The vocally talented group of students sang carols while students took pictures with Santa and his trusty sidekick, Buddy The Elf.

Overall, it was an amazing scene at Serra High School.  For some of our students, this was the closest thing to snow they have ever seen.  The holiday spirit was thick in the air, and this is all thanks to the donated services of Abner Nevarez and Dr. Bronner’s All-One Ark Magic Soaps.

Winter Concerts

On December 20th, Serra High presented not one, but two Winter Concerts.  The evening began with a concert by the Serra String Orchestra, Serra Concert Choir, and the Serra Young Woman's Choral Ensemble.  Selections included Minuet and Trio, Santa Plays the Viola, Dance of the Sugar-Plum Fairy, and One Candle.  The concert was directed by Mr. Steven Rea and Ms. Ceci Mamede.


The second concert of the evening was the 36th Annual Winter Concert Band directed by Mr. Steven Rea.  Selections included Washington Post March, Chanukah is Here, A Holiday Festival and, as always, Sleigh Ride.  


These concerts would not be possible without the support of the Serra Music Boosters and the Serra Symphonic & Choral Music Boosters.  Please visit the Serra Music Booster Club Web Site  to learn how you can support the arts at Serra High School.
