With Christmas time here Clearwater-Orchard Schools certainly showed their spirit last week.  They’ve kicked off the Christmas season with a joyful Christmas concert last Monday, and now students are getting ready for the holiday season in many different ways.  
  
As you walk through the schools, you will notice an abundance of excited little kids bringing in presents of all shapes and sizes for their gift exchange.  While the elementary bring their gifts a couple of days early, you will notice that the high school students do not bring their gifts until the last day of school.  Students of all ages are eager to give and receive gifts to kick off their Christmas vacation.  

Gifts are not the only holiday cheer one will find within the walls of the schools.  Students are starting to show their spirit by wearing cheerful holiday outfits that come in a variety of options.  So far, it ranges from character Christmas t-shirts, sweatshirts, and fun holiday socks.  However, there are those few students who have gone above and beyond to spread their Christmas spirit by wearing a playful Christmas onesie.  How can one not be jolly with so much holiday cheer walking through the halls?

 On Wednesday students were treated for their hard work by a movie, popcorn, and candy.  This will be a good way to relieve all that stress from studying and a good way to end the semester.  School will also end at noon on Wednesday for the kids, which is a treat to everyone.   
​
Christmas is a joyful holiday to spread kindness, joy, and cheer.  Clearwater-Orchard Schools have these traits covered.  We all wish you a Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year!
