Annandale Terrace brought in some winter cheer before we left for winter break. Students participated in a variety of activities to celebrate the coming of the winter season! Take a look at some of the fun!

Exclusive Winter Performances

The week before winter break, we were serenated each morning by our wonderful music team playing holiday music to lift our spirits for the day. Our orchestra, band, music, and ensemble teamed up to provide students with a cheerful start to a cold day!

 

Gingerbread Joy

Many classrooms participated in building gingerbread houses! Not only are they a delicious treat, but they also provide hands on learning with geometry, measurement, and problem solving skills!
