For those Alumnae and veteran staff members who had the privilege to be at Maria High School during the holiday season, this Christmas tradition was one of the highlights of the entire year.
Sr.Joanna Marie, SSC, would come to the auditorium to lead the entire student body in a special rendition of "The Twelve Days of Christmas". It would start with the seniors, then to the juniors, sophomores, and freshman. Each section would have an assigned day. Each day had a special, silly movement.
To many students, the entire object of this special day was to be louder and more crazy than the day before you. It was intensely competitive, sometimes accompanied by homeroom rehearsals.
It's an awesome tradition, and many feared it would die with the closing of Maria High School.
