Who doesn't love a great holiday tradition?! It was great fun at Gilkey, Cooper and Starr Elementary Schools as the Middle and High School Choirs performed for the students at their annual holiday caroling tour throughout the district. This annual caroling event includes a number of holiday classic songs, as well as a few new favorites...including a special appearance from "Olaf". It is always a favorite for all the students and staff involved, the smiles were priceless!
The holiday fun continues throughout our elementary buildings. From Candy Cane Day, to Pajama Day to dress like the Grinch Day, our students are excited to show their holiday spirit before Winter Holiday Break. We ❤️ all the joy and smiles it brings to our students!
