students pose in holiday clothing in hallway

After months of hard work, the students of Tonawanda City School District had a little fun on the last day before Winter Recess.

Members of the Tonawanda High School Concert Choir caroled through the halls of Tonawanda Elementary School, singing a variety of holiday favorites for their younger counterparts, before heading back to the Middle/High school building to perform for their classmates.
