Grace Cusson jumps up Wednesday afternoon to answer a question in Lisa Williams’ second grade class at Saint Dominic Academy’s Lewiston campus. Students and teachers were dressed in Christmas attire for the annual celebration of Saint Nicholas Day. Meanwhile, some of the school staff and students in grades 3-5 attended a performance of “A Christmas Carol” at the Public Theatre on Maple Street in Lewiston. Another tradition on this day is for students to leave their shoes in the hallway where they are filled with candy. Russ Dillingham/Sun Journal
