Thanks to Mrs. Katia, children (and adults too!) were kept busy painting a variety of festive ceramics in the craft room.  We had a one-of-a-kind gingerbread lighthouse for a raffle, thanks to a creative parent.  There was a steady stream of children waiting to have their picture taken with Santa, so our photographer was kept very busy! And when everyone had had their fill, the cleanup elves worked their magic, tidying everything away.  Thank you, everyone!

As the children file into the gym, parents help with choosing and serving.  Older students give a hand to their younger schoolmates until at long last it is their turn.   We are very grateful to the parents who packed up the leftovers and delivered them to a food bank.
