Dayspring students entertain at Christmas program

ATTLEBORO - Students at Dayspring Christian Academy entertained family members, relatives, friends and classmates earlier this month with their annual Christmas musical program staged at the South Attleboro Assembly of God, located on Newport Avenue.

In front of an estimated crowd of 250 spectators and on a stage adorned with holiday decorations, students enthusiastically performed a play entitled "It's a Wonder-Full Life" with musical accompaniment. More than 20 students acted in the play and were supported by the school's choir, whose members sang a long list of Christmas songs.

"It's a Wonder-Full Life" is a seasonal play delving into the true meaning of Christmas by defining the conflict between materialism and spiritualism.
