AVID
On December 14, Trexler families gathered together for an evening of fun, food, fellowship and service learning. Families were encouraged to bring in donations for Onslow County Christmas Cheer. Together we raised over 100 items for donation! These donations were provided to the Onslow County Christmas Cheer program and impacted families in and across Onslow County including three local families. These local families were provided boxes of food, winter gear, and an assortment of toys. Special thanks to all those who donated items in support of our community.
Fun was had by all as students, parents, and teachers participated in an Ugly Christmas Sweater Competition, games and a variety of team building exercises. After dinner and the sweater contest, parents and students rotated through several different rooms to play a series of games. On behalf of the Trexler family, we’d like to thank all those who came out to attend the event.
