Cliffside Elementary's kindergarten classes provided holiday entertainment before school dismissed for break with 'holiday pops.' The show opened with "Mariah Carey" portrayed by McKinley Durham. Joseph and Mary (Callan Andersen and Avarayne Ricklefs) and the angel at the manger (Luci Messer) reminded those in attendance the real reason for the season. Angel Lilly Stepp made her way reverently to the stage for the show along with angels Elina Ellis and Elyza Eason. Elsa (Iylah Cole) from "Frozen" brought in winter. No Christmas performance would be complete without Santa Claus (Landon Putnam). The kindergarten classes were accompanied by DJ Mark Kassuba.
