Students in Mrs. Yeager’s gym class are getting ready for winter break with festive games like “Turn on the Holiday Lights” and exciting sled races.




Students at Halifax Elementary are learning all about showing concern this month. At our monthly PBIS assembly, we celebrated our November Cat Star Kids and recognized the students who won our STEM kit drawing and a McDonald's Happy Meal. Mrs. Sauer and Mrs. Bellis, along with two stellar students, took on a Minute-to-Win-It candy cane challenge, and it was fun! We are so proud of you, keep shining, Cat Stars! 🌟🌟🌟
You are invited to Deck the Halls at Halifax High School on Wednesday, December 17th, from 5-7 pm.
