Holiday Celebrations
Teachers share special holiday celebrations with the children in a variety of ways from reading a book about Hanukkah, playing a dreidel game, and making gingerbread houses. Check out the students learning about such traditions.
As students and staff headed off for winter break, the D103 PTO sent them on their way through a blustery wintry carnival decorated with snowflakes, snowmen, and a host of other winter displays in which students were invited to play themed games, make crafts and test their fine motor skills with the Reindeer Ring Toss and the Jingle Bell Toss. Check out some of the kindergartners playing these games.

- Winter Break: Friday, Dec. 22, through Monday, Jan. 8. Students return to school Tuesday, Jan. 9.
