The 12 Days of Giving
At Stony Hill School
It's 12 School Days Until the Break!
We can do this, everyone. This is your daily inspiration to stay positive, and if you are feeling special, please make our kids feel special, too!

12/10: On the 1st Day of Giving, My Principal Gave to Me....
...puddin' -- as Gerry Brooks says, "Puddin' will make your life so much easier!" Enjoy a snack pack in your mailbox (well, it will be in your mailbox, but please enjoy it outside of your mailbox).
12/11: On the 2nd Day of Giving, My Principal Gave to Me...
...a chance to find the gingerbread man! There will be 5 gingerbread cutouts hidden throughout the school. Find one, and come to the office to claim your prize!
12/12: On the 3rd Day of Giving, My Principal Gave to Me...
...popcorn! Not just plain old popcorn, mind you...you deserve Popcornopolis popcorn. Pick your poison - cheddar, chocolate, or caramel.
12/13: On the 4th Day of Giving, My Staff Gave to Me...
...Yankee Swap Grab Bag. Bring in a wrapped gift (valued between 5 and 10) and put it under the tree in the lobby. During your lunch break, come to choose a gift. Take the rest of the day to swap if you wish.
12/14: On the 5th Day of Giving, My PTO Gave to Me...
...coffee cart and treats - while wearing Ugly Sweaters, of course. What could be more cozy on a Friday afternoon?
12/15: On the 6th Day of Giving, My Principal Gave to Me...
...Reese's cups. Have I told you Reese-ently how much you are appreciated? Enjoy a Reese's treat, found in your mailbox. (Pick it up before you go home on Friday or the mice will beat you to it.)
12/16: On the 7th Day of Giving, My Principal Gave to Me...
...the day off! Just kidding. =) I hereby declare 'Jeans Till January!' Yoga pants are good too. Let's strive to be as comfy as this puppy is for our final school week of 2018.
12/17: On the 8th Day of Giving, My Music Teacher Gave to Me...
...Holiday Sing Along. Yes, it's our annual overdose of adorableness as students sing their hearts out to all the classic holiday songs from our childhood. Channel your inner child and sing along. Bonus points if you wear something that jingles.
12/18: On the 9th Day of Giving, My Principal Gave to Me...
...something out of the blue. Just to say thank you for all that you do. Enjoy a blue-themed item from the basket found in the teachers' lounge (doesn't lounge sound better than closet?)
12/19: On the 10th Day of Giving, My Principal Gave to Me...
...a raffle ticket for a fabulous gift card! Place your raffle ticket, (see Kathy) with your NAME on the back, in the office collection box by the end of the day to enter the contest.
12/20:On the 11th Day of Giving, My Principal Gave to Me...
...a Pizza Party. I'll provide the pizza, but your bright smiling faces make it a party. Stop by the cafeteria (so it will stay warm) between 11 and 1 for some cheesy goodness and fizzy beverages. Then head to the lounge for music and mingling.
12/21: On the 12th Day of Giving, My PTO & Staff Gave to Me...
...Cookie Walk, Secret Santa Reveal, and Pajama Day! If you participated in Secret Santa this year, the reveal will take place at 8:00 in the cafeteria. If not, still come for the cookies! Cookies, hugs and jammies. A perfect way to say farewell as we head off to holiday break.
