Bethlehem Walk Edmonton Suggestions for Schools

Bethlehem Walk Edmonton is probably Edmonton's the largest Christmas opportunity for schools.  Below are a few suggestions on how your school could be involved. 

1. Let teachers know about this opportunity, see link above and  Christmas Suggestions for Alberta Schools
2. Take a field trip to see Bethlehem Walk presentation, especially for grade 3 classes. See Bethlehem Walk Edmonton Field Trip Suggestions
3. If you are not able to take the field trip - let students and parents know about this opportunity by giving them the web link (http://www.bwedm.com/), and showing the Bethlehem Walk video (see web link).

 Bethlehem Walk Edmonton features:

1. The angels in the shepherds field (done in spectacular style). 
2. A middle eastern market place (a lot of what is portrayed of what was like over 2000 years ago is similar to the markets today in places like Tunisia).
3. A stable with live animals and the young couple and a live baby Jesus.
4. The three Wise-men.
5. See John Winslow's Review, especially the pictures.
