This year's virtual Holiday Party will be on Dec.16 from 5 to 6:30 p.m. While it is a bummer that we are not able to celebrate the holidays in person, there are still some super exciting and fun things in the pipeline, which brings us to our next point: we have launched two network-wide competitions this week!
Both competitions will run through Friday, Dec. 10. Please read on for more details about each competition.
Gingerbread village competition
- Each school will receive THREE gingerbread village kits this week and a budget of $100 for decorations
