KHS DAILY ANNOUNCEMENTS

December 12, 2019

Lunch today: Sandymash turkey on bread

Interact is celebrating holidays around the world. Today the focus is on the Ukraine. When students enter school, they should see spider webs on the trees outside. In the Ukraine, many citizens decorate their Christmas tree in spiderwebs because of an old story. The legend goes that a poor widow didn’t have anything for Christmas and the spiders took pity on her. So they spun and gifted her gold and other riches. When Ukrainians decorate with spiderwebs, it is a sign of prosperity for the oncoming year.

Choir members are reminded that they need to turn in their money for Circa 21 workshops by December 19.  Make checks payable to KHS Choir.
