Annual Gingerbread House Day at Onondaga Road Elementary School
The Onondaga Road Elementary School Annual Gingerbread House Day took place on Friday, December 13. The kindergarten team invites one parent/family member of each kindergarten child to join them in a fun Gingerbread House making holiday event.
The cafeteria was set up with festive tables with holiday music playing that provided families with a great opportunity to spend some one on one quality time with their child making ginger bread houses. Families have loved this event and it grows bigger each year.
