We are getting in the holiday spirit here at Howe Hall AIMS! Wednesday was County Holiday spirit day! We loved seeing everyone in their flannels, boots and hats. Friday is Ugly Sweater Day!
Fourth grade had an amazing time at Old Santee Canal Park. We learned about how the Native Americans of SC used plants, animals, and the land in order to survive. We made “No Face Dolls” out of corn husks that serve as a reminder to Native Americans to never think they are better than anyone else. We learned how indigo, a cash crop from SC during the 1700s, was cultivated for its dye. We were able to use some to dye a piece of cloth. We also toured the museum of artifacts from the American Revolution and checked out their wildlife while we were there.
The Howe Hall AIMS PTA is organizing a special holiday luncheon for our hardworking teachers, and we're reaching out to you for a little extra sweetness! We're asking families to share the holiday spirit by dropping off homemade or store-bought cookies, candies, or desserts at the front office on December 20th by 10 AM. Your delicious contributions will be a delightful addition to the holiday luncheon.
Whether it's your grandma's famous gingerbread cookies or your family's favorite candies, every treat will bring joy and warmth to our teachers during this festive season. Thank you and happy holidays to you and your family!
We hope you're have a show-stopping holiday season! To start feeling holly jolly, be sure to check out our Celebrate the Season card at Santee Canal Park.
