🎅🦌 Santa & Reindeer Games! 🛷
On our last day before break, kindergarten students stepped into the North Pole for some Santa and Reindeer games! Students took turns rolling a giant snowball across the gym floor in a relay style race.
Giant snowballs have a way of getting out of control, so lots of laughter filled the gym as the kids tried to keep their snowball rolling the right direction! 🎄✨

Wrestling update from Coach Huffman:
Thursday was a great night for our wrestling program! Our first home dual is in the books, and we faced some pretty tough matchups. As coaches, we obviously love to win—but even more than that, we love seeing every kid on our roster improve each time they step on the mat. That progress gets us even more excited for the season ahead!
Varsity boys went 2-1 again tonight and now sit at 4-2 on the year in duals. Our JV boys wrestled tough as well, showing a lot of grit and growth.
And huge shoutout to our mighty girls team—just three wrestlers, and they won all but one match tonight!
The girls head to Orchard Farm Friday for a tournament, and the boys will follow on Saturday for our first tournament of the season.
Thank you to everyone who came out and supported us tonight! 🧡🖤
