The production of the Oakridge-SHS student council Christmas play went exceptionally well. The play was named “The Stranger” a story of when everything with Christmas is going wrong and the villagers have no idea what to do, a stranger comes to town and helps them realize that they are able to save Christmas all on their own. 

The play was written, directed, and produced by SHS student council member Annie Shoemaker. Students from SHS student council and student body paired up with friends from the Oakridge School to learn lines and spend time learning about each other. 

Connor Snyder (Senior Class President) said,

“I played one of the villagers in the Oakridge Christmas Play. It was an awesome experience to be with all of these kids and see the very unique personalities that each of them have. It was a lot of work and a lot of sacrifice, but I got so much more out of it than anything I gave up. These kids are awesome and have really blessed my life and reminded me that serving people tends to help you more than anything.”

This is the fourth year that SHS has taken the opportunity to work with the wonderful students from Oakridge.
