Everyone loves the holiday seasonst for celebrating these special times at school adds a spark of excite- ment to the year. Halloween was the first holiday cele- brated at school. On this fun-filled day all the elemen- tary children enjoyed dressing up and going trick-or- treating. The kindergarten enjoyed a Halloween party at Mrs. Lemmon's barn complete with games, a witch and her witch's brew, and lots of goodies. On Thanks- giving the younger students held a thanksgiving feast at the Woodbury Baptist Church with senior citizens. Afterwards a program in which the kindergarten por- trayed lndians and the first grade portrayed Pilgrims was given at schooi. At Christmastime everyone joined into the spirit of giving as the elementary children drew names and the high school students brought small gifts for friends. Santa Claus also visited in the lower school and the younger children were able to sit in his lap and tell what they wanted for Christmas. A very special time at FRA was Grandparents' Day, held in February. Cn this day grandparents of the kindergar- ten students were special guests for a program and refreshments. Then, right around the corner was Valen- tine's Day. Everyone enjoyed exchanging valentines and cute cards on this day. In the lower school parties were held and everyone stuffed themselves with all sorts of goodies. For the high school students the Sweetheart Sock Hop was held and everyone loved dancing to the music of DJ John Alexander from WVOC. The final holiday was Easter. The elementary students were delighted to be able to bring colored eggs from home and have an egg hunt at school. Each of these holidays at FRA added something extra to routine schedules and helped in making a more exciting year. l. Matt Fuller decorates the Christmas tree at his house for the tour of homes. 2.
