Some of our students, parents, and staff gave of their time a Saturday evening in December to help support Operation Christmas Child at Samaritan’s Purse pack boxes for children all over the world in need of a special Christmas gift.

Our houses squared off in the fall games.

In the end, Fides pulled out a win for their house and brought home all the bragging rights!

Their first challenge was the balloon smash. Let’s just say, things got loud!

The students worked hard to create Turkey Floats for their house.

Darts was how they shot the turkey (balloons).

Can Spaghetti clean-up is the name of the game. Can they make it across the room without dropping the soda can?

Can you “Peel the Onion”?

Time for dinner. Baby food for the win! Can they stomach it?

Tree Decoration/ Each house has a tree or human to decorate.

This year each grade level (7th-12th) had the opportunity to decorate a teacher’s door. So many great ideas were beautifully displayed.

And the winner is 11th grade. They did a great job decorating Mr. Morton’s door!

Seniors setting things up for the big event. So much hard work went into making this night happen.

Students paired up and learned some new dances and made some new friends as well.

Line dancing was definitely a favorite through the night.

Fun and laughter was shared by all.

During their most recent House meeting, each House was given three pumpkins to carve! They planned ahead, came prepared, and had tons of fun working together!

Each house met, devised a plan, and began carving!

After the carving was complete, the pumpkins were put on display for the Grammar School students to vote on!
