Wreath Making 101

A few students gathered on Friday night to make wreaths.  Only Anna had done it before so Jack, Bella, Annaliese, Tess, and McKenna all learned a new craft.

 The process.

 Anna improved on last year's product.  Jack was a natural from the get-go.

 Bella was inspired.

 Annaliese had a good start and needed only a little help a the end.  Impressive result for a rookie.

 Tess was so efficient she made another for Matt.

 McKenna mastered the art of bow tying, which is no small feat.

These two wreaths will adorn the front of Frazier.

Thanks to the generosity of current parents, BMA adopted 26 local children for whom to buy Christmas gifts.  We shopped in Pod groups and many chose to also spread the love by supporting local businesses.

Annaliese and Maddie shop for a 3 year old girl who loves princesses and wanted some art supplies.

Will and Tommy shop for a 7 year old boy who wanted puzzles.  They spotted this 3D castle puzzle.

 BriMac and Jennette are experts in the shopping category.  

This group was positive that their 5 year old boy did NOT want any clothes for Christmas.  They are with the small business owner of the Village Kids Boutique in Lyndonville.  She helped us make sure our gifts were appropriate.

Some things can only be found at Ocean State Job Lots.  Two pods merged here: Matt A, Fredi, Tommy, Will and Annie.

Packing the bags in the Student Center: Tess, Anna, Annaliese

The mood was festive!  Laz and Raph fill the bag with outside toys as requested.
