Brickett kids stage Christmas concert at King’s Beach

LYNN – First-, second- and third-graders from Brickett Elementary School entertained residents of King’s Beach Towers in Lynn Wednesday morning with a special holiday concert in the building’s community room.The performance was organized by the newly formed East Lynn Community Organization of Ward Three Association Inc.Students sang Christmas classics like “Jingle Bells” and “Oh, Christmas Tree,” and pleased the small gathering of residents with their own version of the “12 Days of Christmas” and a jazzy new song called “Blitzen’s Boogie.”The children also presented residents with Christmas cards.”The students made handmade cards with a landscape of their favorite place,” said Lara Goodman of the East Lynn Community Organization, who is also an artist who worked with the students on the landscapes. “Maybe (the residents) will see them and it will be the same favorite place they had when they were in elementary school, or even their favorite place now.”The East Lynn Community Organization of Ward 3 Association Inc. is a new organization, established in October of this year, with members throughout the East Lynn area. The concert is their first major project as an organization, but organizers say there are more in the works.”We wanted to do this to bring our community of Lynn closer together so the (students) can meet (the residents),” said Goodman. “This is the first school we have worked with, but it would be nice to work with the other schools in the third ward also. We are hoping to keep doing things like this.”
