Beginning Christmas Traditions

One of the most fun things about being a part of a new campus is establishing new traditions!

Each family was invited to help us build our ornament collection for our school's Christmas tree.  We have a budding collection, each significant to our students or school in some way.  The child's name and year are written on the bottom of the ornament.  As I told the students, "This is very cool this year, but can you IMAGINE what our tree will be like in five years?"  

Students are able to share their ornaments with our student body during our morning assembly time before their ornament is placed on the tree.  It's been great fun seeing everyone's selection.  Some are PCA themed.  Others focus on the birth of our Savior.  Others have significance to the student - sharing one of their hobbies are interests.  All help make for the beginning of a great PCA North tradition!

Three siblings donated these PCA ornaments.   A name of each child in the family is written on the back of "their" ornament.  

 

The ornament below helps us remember our Pioneer Picnic - our first school wide event, held back in August.  

This ornament was selected by a third grader because his research project was on cardinals.  Thus, an ornament with cardinals!

I love this PCA stocking!  Sweet little PreK student told me his mother bought it at the store "just like this." 

 

 

 

 

So many great ornaments, but I couldn't resist sharing mine with you.  Love carrying my camera around to capture all of the great things happening at PCA North!
