ASSINIBOIA — Assiniboia Composite High School students are decking the halls and jingling the bells, all part of festive, fun activity at the high school this December.
Niamh Hickey, SRC Events Coordinator representing students, tells the Assiniboia Times that their student leadership team has put together a number of festive and fun activities for December.
“At the beginning of the month, the SRC put up lovely decorations and have spent most of their time planning a school dance. ACHS has not had a dance for many years and the team thought it would be a fun way to get the student body excited for Christmas,” said Hickey
The much-anticipated school dance occurred on Dec. 12 in the theme of classic Christmas and students were encouraged to dress formally.
“The group also planned multiple festive activities throughout the month of December that students could participate in.”
Hickey said students could sign up for a gingerbread house-making contest that took place Dec. 10-11. Secret Santa candy canes were also sold and will be handed out the week of Dec. 16, where there will also be a sit with Santa event.
School spirit days are always popular with the holidays offering the most excitement and variety. Every single day the last week before Christmas break, Hickey affirms that there will be a different spirit theme each day, and even includes an ugly Christmas sweater day. The last day of school always offers loads of good tidings and good will as staff and students will enjoy pajama day along with a pancake breakfast made by the SRC team, before everyone heads into Christmas break.
