Glen Head School students were greeted with a festive surprise when they arrived at school Tuesday, Dec. 23, the day before winter break.
The school’s entrance and main hallway were transformed into “Candy Cane Lane,” featuring hanging snowflakes and wall decorations that included candy canes, Christmas trees, dreidels and snowmen. Faculty and staff joined in the celebration by welcoming students in holiday attire, adding to the cheerful atmosphere.
Teachers throughout the building also dressed for the season, helping create a warm and festive start to the day.
Later Principal Sheehan led a school-wide Holiday Sing-Along in the gymnasium, where students, faculty and staff sang popular seasonal songs together. During the event, Sheehan announced the winners of the school’s Ugly Sweater Contest and hosted the school’s first faculty Dreidel Spinning Contest.
School officials thanked Principal Sheehan, along with faculty, staff and custodial teams, for their efforts in decorating the building and organizing the celebrations. Appreciation was also extended to those who participated in costumes and performances, contributing to a joyful sendoff before winter break.
The festivities marked a spirited conclusion to the school year as the Glen Head community looked ahead to the new year.
