For example, at Thanksgiving, we have our Annual Potluck Dinner where each family brings a holiday dish or two to share with other families.  On this day, we have a half day of classes prior to our dinner and the remainder of the day is filled with food, fun, and fellowship.  Families are allowed to invite immediate family members, such as grandparents to join us.  At Christmas, we enjoy a holiday brunch and allow the students to participate in a gift exchange.  Other days include Pajama Day, Valentine’s Day, and our Annual End of the Year Pizza Party Award Ceremony.
