VES Students to Perform at the Annual Tree Lighting Ceremony

Veneta Elementary students will shine at the annual Fern Ridge Chamber of Commerce tree lighting ceremony on Thursday, December 1st. For the first time ever, it will be held here at Veneta Elementary School in our new bus loop. Santa will arrive at 6 PM and followed by the tree lighting at 6:15 PM. After the tree is lit, the audience will be treated to performances from the Veneta Elementary first grade choir, from Elmira Elementary School’s choir, and from Veneta Elementary’s 4th and 5th grade choir under the direction of Mrs. McGuire. Children will have a chance to visit with Santa and the Kiwanis will be providing free hot chocolate.

Parking might be an issue that night, so give yourself extra time in case you have to park on a side street or at the West Lane Shopping Center.

Don’t forget to also mark your calendar for next weeks Fern Ridge Light Parade on Thursday, December 8th.
