Letters to Santa written by Kindergarten to Grade 2 students at Lafleche School.

The Grades 4-6 Musical Theatre group at Assiniboia Park Elementary School will present the stage musical version of Elf, based on the book and movie, on Dec. 20 and 21 at 7:30 p.m. each night, directed by Kendra Gonczy. There will be no admission charge, but a silver collection will be taken at the door in support of the school's arts ed programs.

A live nativity play, about the First Christmas night, was put on by the children in the King's Club at the Lighthouse Church on Friday evening. The church's youth worship team provided some of the music, while the younger children acted out the story of the birth of Jesus in Bethlehem over 2,000 years ago.

Inclusion Weyburn had a special day with Santa Claus on Saturday morning, as they arranged for sensory-free private visits with the jolly old man of Christmas. With appointments set about 15 minutes apart at the Zion Lutheran Church, a family could come and enjoy a visit with Santa without the distraction of large crowds and noise, and the children can enjoy a visit if they wish, or to just talk or give him a high five.

St. Michael School in Weyburn hosted their junior high band concert, the first one conducted by new music teacher Jeff Lunde, along with Christmas activities for students and families, on Wednesday evening. Lunde led the Grade 9, Grade 8 and Grade 7 bands, then the combined Grade 8/9 Honour band. Activities included making laser-engraved cutting boards and an art mural, along with treats and hot chocolate.

The Weyburn Comprehensive School senior bands and choirs perform during the Winter Music Program, hosted on December 14.

Weyburn lost another piece of history, as a demolition crew started to take down the historic Souris School building over the weekend. The school was built in 1910, and was closed a couple of years ago as the students were merged with those from Haig and Queen Elizabeth Schools into the new Legacy Park Elementary School.

The City of Weyburn held their annual "Skate with Santa" event on Sunday afternoon at the Tom Zandee Sports Arena, with lots of families and individuals coming out for the free skate, and for a chance to get a photo with Santa Claus. It was special also because this was the last one to be organized by City administrative coordinator Wendy Neiszner, as she is taking retirement at the end of December, ending nearly 25 years of working for the City's Leisure Services department.

Music, goodies and fun crafts were all part of the evening at the Weyburn Public Library on Thursday, as they hosted their Cookies, Crafts and Carols event, with the RISE Choir from the Weyburn Comp, and a special drop-in by Santa Claus.

The 2022 Santa Lights Parade brought Christmas lights and cheer to Assiniboia on December 7.
