Happy Holidays!

Today we enjoyed our holiday party! Thanks families for organizing and helping!
Students made snowflakes!




They ate delicious snacks!


They played "Pass the Present..."



...and unwrapped it layer by layer!

They tried to guess the word on their back!

And they even had a snowball "fight!"

It was lots of fun! Thanks to all again!

Happy Holidays!

The food chains were printed so others can see how fantastic they are, too!
