This year at Clarke Higli School, jolliness is every- where. The student council lias planned two weeks full of Christnmas activities. Startlng December first, the. annual Clarke Higli School Adopt-A-Family begins. This is a way that our school can contribute to help- lng those in need. Every homeroom is given a child or parent and they are respon- sible for helplng that speclal person enjoy Christmas as they should. These people are very grateful for the glfts they recelve, but the best part that most students enjoy, is the idea of helping someone feel happy and special. Each stu- dent can help by bringing in a sinail gift for that spectal per- son. There wiil be gift lists dlstrlbuted to the homerooms and even if the students can't afford to buy a glft, a money donation is always helpful. This money can be used to buy glfts or to help with the Chrstrnas dinner that will be made for these families. The next activity on the list is Candy Grams. Students are welcome to send their frlends and speclal someones a littIe Christmas cheer. Candy canes will be dis- tributed on December l7th. Each candy grain costs fifty cents. The message and the candy always help to brlgliten up a student's holldays. Then comtes the famous Christmas dinner. Students are invited to share in a Christmas meal wth their friends and the other stu- dents in the school. This din- ner costs five dollars. Each plate wlll be loaded wlth goodies such as turkey, mashed potatees, green peas, dressing, a dinner roll, cran- berries and a Christmas dessert. Ail of it ls worth the five dollars. There will also be Christmas carols, played by Lisa -nhnson, on the piano, whlch will help the students working wtth their home- rooms by decoratlng their classreom doors. Judges will come around and judge the doors. Each grade will have a wlnner. The homerooms that bave won wlll recelve a prize. te be determlned at a later date. Also these homerooms get the g lory of belng announced on the ýdally announicements, for ail stu- dents to hear. Clarke is known for its tal- ent as well. Students get te show their talent on DecemberIl7th, ln the annu- ai talent/Christmas assem- bly. The bands will play, stu- dent council will do a sklt, nunierous songs will be sung, and mucli more!
