Happy to Give Back to the Elderly

The holidays have come and gone, but there is still buzz in the air at George White Elementary School over some great performances.

The fifth-grade students of l and their siblings performed at Aegis Assistance Living of Laguna Niguel on Christmas Eve.

The show included a variety of music from clarinet, piano, electric guitar, viola, violin and cello. Classical, blues, and jazz piano songs were performed by Wyler Svoboda.

Sagan, Svoboda's younger brother, also gave a piano performance, as well as played clarinet. Classmate Austin Fox accompanied Sagan on the clarinet, playing "Jingle Bells." Austin also soloed a medley of rock songs.

Another classmate, Kyle Chang, played a beautiful viola solo that was a delight to hear.

Opening the show, the Leong family trio—which included dad Frank on the cello, daughter Rachel on viola, and son Kyle on the piano—played traditional classical songs.

The children and their family members put on their best smiles while singing Christmas carols. The Leong family led the finale of the show in holiday song, with Colton Fox, Brandon Chang, siblings Nick and Natalia Tanski joining the group to help spread some joy in singing classic holiday songs.

The residents danced upstairs as the music played downstairs, which truly showed how much they enjoyed the visit, said mom Lynn Fox, who organized the event.

"The children were so happy to spread cheer to the residents. ... It was a memorable experience for all to enjoy and to show the true meaning of Christmas on Christmas Eve morning," said Fox.
