So Much to Celebrate

Teachers and staff members had fun dressing up as some favorite holiday characters. In front, Karen Hudson is pictured with others in back, from left, Kris Rufer, Sheri Schaefer, Molly Babler and Jen Newcomer.

Abraham Lincoln Elementary School students and staff in Monroe have spent the week finding ways to celebrate the holiday. They experienced the Monroe High School Jazz Ensemble, held dress-up days, had a crazy hair day, enjoyed hot chocolate, wrapping paper towers and decorating cookies. They also watched “The Polar Express” and there was a pinata. Students returned after the New Year.
