Above, first-grade students at Yucca Elementary School sing Christmas carols Tuesday morning at First American Bank as part of the school’s 15th annual caroling trip to several local businesses. Approximately 80 Bulldog Bandits made their way from Yates Petroleum to First American, Western Bank, Navajo Refining, the Artesia Public Schools Administration Building, and San Pedro Nursing and Rehabilitation Center singing a selection of holiday tunes that included “Rudolph the Red-Nosed Reindeer,” “We Wish You a Merry Christmas,” “Feliz Navidad” and “Santa Claus is Coming to Town.” Below, the carolers are thanked for their vocal stylings with gifts of candy at Yates. The students were led by music instructor Lynn Sundheimer. Grace Miller – Daily Press
