Christmas music fills the hallways right after it strikes midnight on Halloween. Students started decking the halls before we even sat down for Thanksgiving. Plenty of hot glue burns, staples in fingers, and paint stains went in to pull this festive tradition off. A tradition that has been carried on for many years comes to life again for 2023.
The Holiday in the Halls open house begins at 6 p.m. tonight at the high school. The first student tour was on Friday, December 1. Freshman Hadassah Owen played piano while elementary sang along.
¨I feel like it brings everyone together in different ways,” senior La´zariah Robinson said. “It’s putting more joy and positivity in the hallway and in students.¨
The annual Concert with 6th grade and High School bands will begin at 7 p.m. The 7th grade, 8th grade, and jazz band will perform tomorrow night.
¨I love doing Holiday in the Halls,” junior Judary Ledzma said. “It keeps me occupied. My favorite part about Holiday in the Halls is to help decorate.¨
The Culinary Arts students in Mrs. Tugwell´s sixth and seventh period paired up in teams and each have a table where guests can try foods and desserts.
¨I think it needs to be more holiday and less Grinch,¨ junior Rey Ramirez said.
Coach Graves and her students will have two places in the D hall for the students to have pictures made in the cutout board characters of Charlie Brown Christmas.
¨I think it’s pretty cool,” senior Stormy Langley said, “because a lot of students come together to make the school look good.”
