CAS School Celebrates Christmas

Posted on November 21, 2012 by

CAS students celebrated Christmas holiday with activities, giving-back, and a talent show Pre-school students have been focusing on the winter with science projects about animals who hibernate and practicing shapes that make winter designs. The children are also creating Christmas projects and ornaments. The students have also been  practicing songs to sing for their Christmas program on Thursday evening which went very well. Many thanks to our parents and families who came out to support the Thursday evening Pre-school program.

Elementary students have had a busy Christmas season too. 1st graders had the opportunity to build their very own gingerbread houses. Then they took a trip on the Polar Express! Students wore their pajamas and were so excited to receive their own bell at the end!

High School Talent Show This week, students have many activities they will participate in. Tuesday is Grinch day and students will create a sequence story map, create their own Grinch drink, and make their own “WANTED” poster for the Grinch. Wednesday, Students will travel to the Kindred Rehabilitation Center. Students will sing songs and spread some holiday cheer. Thursday, Students will have a “Festival around t
he World” after they were required to research a country and how that country celebrates Christmas. (Picture Right: high school talent show winners!)

Middle schoolers applied science and health to their Christmas celebrations. Science teacher Mr. McEntee had students calculate Santa’s sleigh force and mass to see what it would require for him to take off. Students will also be working with atomic elements and making 3-d edible models when they return from Christmas break. Health class with Mr. Young emphasized healthy choices over the Christmas break with opportunities to get active and select foods for fitness.

High school students finished the year with stressful final exams but celebrated the end of finals with a high school talent show organized by the student council and Ms. Nistler. Participants sang, recited original poetry, danced, and played instruments in the competition; winners were announced that same day. Congratulations to Isa A. (1st place),  Rafael H.(2nd place),  Zach B. (3rd place), for their showmanship. We had a great time celebrating the holiday season together.

Congratulations to students who graduated this December! We had 14 seniors who met all of their requirements and will receive diplomas in January.

Have a safe and Merry Christmas with friends and family. We will see you after Christmas break on January 7th!
