December 2022
Holiday Fun!
The celebrating at Orchard Hills has been nonstop during this holiday season. We enjoyed our annual Sing Along, Nana Claus made a return this year (always a favorite of the students), the staff were given new "elf names" and some of us even made it on the "Nice" list this year! From class parties to choir concerts we have done it all. Thank you to parents, teachers, staff, community members and anyone that has been involved in putting smiles on the faces of our students this year. We are looking forward to Christmas break, but we can't wait for all of the exciting things next ye
