Richmond schools filled with holiday spirit
—
Holiday spirit fills the air at Richmond secondary schools, thanks in large part to the creativity and enthusiastic efforts of student council members.
From Bring Your Own Mug for a free hot chocolate Dec. 16 at Hugh McRoberts to partnering with Global Network to send candy grams to every student at RC Palmer, there’s good cheer for all to share.
At McRoberts, this is the last Spirit Week of the decade and chock full of themes each day—including Ugly Christmas Sweater Day on Tuesday and Holiday Attire on Friday. The graduating class of 2020 is also hosting Breakfast with Santa on the last day before students enjoy a break from classes for the annual winter break. And there’s also Candygrams, a McRoberts’ tradition in which candy canes are bought for friends and teachers, hand-wrapped and delivered by student council elves. Every year, more than a thousand are sold.
At Palmer, the Holiday Hope Campaign and Christmas Door Decoration Competition are top of mind.
The decorating competition sees teachers decorating their classroom doors for bragging rights and a six pack of Christmas cards—featuring the winner’s decorated door on the cover. Contestants will be narrowed down to the top three by student council and then voted on by the school population. The winner will be announced Dec. 19.
Hugh Boyd’s festive lineup is also filled to rafters, with activities ranging from holiday karaoke to dreidel spinning and Naughty or Nice to S’winter. There’ll also a Breakfast with Santa, complete with student performances and an eggnog chugging competition.
Kris Kringle, aka Santa, will also be dropping by AR MacNeill for its Breakfast with Santa on Dec. 20 at at 7:30 a.m. It’s a bit early in the day, but student council notes it’s the biggest holiday event on the calendar. The music department is also presenting its annual winter concert.
At Richmond High, students will enjoy a free pancake Breakfast with Santa Dec. 20, where they can also have their picture taken with the popular personality and take in performances by peers and alumni alike.
