2019 Holiday Potluck and Student Awards
The holidays are here! As fall semester comes to a close, our students, families, and staff came together to celebrate the end of 2019 with a potluck-style dinner, gingerbread house making, games, and more! It was great spending time together and reflecting on the year – all while sharing a delicious meal. Our lovely, supportive parents brought pastas, tamales, pozole, home baked desserts and more.
