The talent and creativity of Isle of Wight County Schools students never ceases to impress us. Sharing their accomplishments in our newspaper each week is a privilege.

Westside Elementary School fifth graders Kennedy Humphrey, Amiyah McCullough and Asia Stallings delighted parents and classmates at the school’s annual Christmas program last week with their adaptation of the classic “Twelves Days of Christmas.” We share the lyrics here in wishing our readers a very merry Christmas.
