Happy Holidays from SKILLs!
Hi Students and Families, This afternoon we are celebrating a culmination of our holiday gift exchange and we're enjoying spending time together before we go on break. The party has light snacks, dancing, arts & crafts and games . We hope you have a wonderful break and we can't wait to hear all about it when we return! Katie Riordan, SKILLs Division Head Tis the season of giving!
Students came together this month and took time to think about others. In math class, the Mets, Jets and Giants classes organized canned food and sock/glove drives for those less fortunate. They also set up a stand selling hot chocolate, donating all of their proceeds to St. Francis Food Pantry.
The whole school participated in holiday shopping trips! During these trips students had the opportunity to buy a gift or a friend, family member or their secret person in the holiday gift exchange. Students will exchange their secret person gifts this Friday afternoon during the holiday celebration. Let's Get Social!
