December Celebrations
December was filled with celebrations as we learned about Holidays Around the World. Classes took part in our door decorating contest in which they studied, created, and displayed a holiday from a culture, religion, or country around the world. We also celebrated holidays from many cultures at our Mac N Kids night. Thank you to all the families who shared and participated. Our Winter Wonderland pictures took place in the library this month thanks to our librarian Jill Moorhead. In addition, our kindergarten, grade 1 and grade 2 held winter performances that were full of joy and fun.
The Oraze "Knock Down Hunger" Cereal Drive was a huge success as over 700 boxes of cereal were collected. This event was led by our Student Council and Principal's Advisory Committee. These boxes were donated to the Community Food Bank for their family store and also to the Marjaree Mason Center. Students enjoyed lining up and knocking down the boxes throughout our hallway buildings. A huge thank to to all families that helped and donated!
On behalf of the Oraze staff, we wish you and your families a joyful holiday season. Enjoy Winter Break and we will see you back on January 10th.
Smiles,
