Art City Traditions
Ace reporters sharing thoughts on Traditions:

A Christmas tradition at Art City Elementarty is to sing around the tree, it started in the lobby, as the school has grown and expanded it moved to the gym. All of the classes in the school gather around a lit tree and sing fun Christmas songs, ending with Silent Night the students sing the first verse, then hum as they leave the gym.

There has always been a 15-18 foot tree in the Lobby, once real, later replaced by a 15 foot artificial tree. The tree is assembled the first Monday in December by the Custodian, faculty, and staff, lights are hung and classes make decorations to place on the tree.


Fourth Grade going to sing at the mall each year is another fun tradition at Art City.
