Christmas Time!

Hello all! It’s been a while since my last blog. I’m sure most of you can agree when I say that this is a very busy time of year! Since my last blog, the Forensics Team traveled to Princeton University for an invitational meet the first weekend in December, and we’re preparing now for our 3rd League meet this Saturday at Ridge H.S. Last Tuesday, our school held our annual Christmas Concert and Tree of Lights Ceremony. The school choir, band, and dance class all performed various pieces that brought Christmas spirit into our school community. The Tree of Lights is a very special ceremony in which families can gather and remember lost loved ones whose names are placed on white dove ornaments and hung on our beautiful tree in the main foyer. This year, our tree was dedicated to the memory of Chris Obara, a UC student who passed away in September from cancer. It was truly an emotional, but heartfelt evening.

Our Christmas Semi-Formal was held on Friday night in our newly renovated gymnasium. About 550 students attended. The gym was decorated with pretty lights, Christmas trees, and poinsettias. It was a very magical night for everyone, and one that I myself, will never forget!

Our winter pep rally was Wednesday, December 13th. Pep rally days are so much fun! =)
