Holiday Happenings

The holiday spirit is alive and well at American Renaissance Elementary! Our students are creating festive decorations to display across our building and making holiday hats to wear in Mrs. Munday's traditional Hat Parade! We are especially proud of two important projects that will enhance the lives of folks in need in our community and across the world. Our Mitten Tree project is collecting mittens and gloves for needy children and our Renaissance Adventure Holiday Crafts Shop for Heifer International has already exceeded last year's collection of funds. Two of our students have taken it upon themselves to collect gently used and new toys for needy children - Lexi and Megan you are amazing! Our first graders took a trip to a tree farm last week and got an unexpected treat - a wagon ride through the Christmas Tree fields. Fifth graders attended a special showing of the new film, A Christmas Carol last week as well. Raine was happy to model the 3-D glasses movie goers wore for a more realistic experience!
