Holiday Assembly: A Scary Good Time

The 2013 All-School Holiday Assembly on Thursday, December 19 was a monstrously fun morning featuring some 18 performances from a myriad of McDonogh singers, dancers, and instrumentalists, plus a few very corny jokes. The main characters, who wove a story between the song and dance, were the abominable snowman (aka John Grega) and Mike from Monsters, Inc. (aka Bridget Collins). While Mike was trying to scare up some holiday spirit, the Artic Bigfoot showed him that it is positive energy that provides the seasonal glow. At the end of the Holiday Assembly, Mr. Grega’s final Holiday Assembly (he plans to retire in June), the McDonogh community gave him a standing ovation in appreciation for his efforts in scripting the show for the past decade or more. Additionally, Headmaster Charlie Britton presented Mr. Grega with a framed collage of the many characters he has portrayed over the years in the annual assembly.
