Birch School students and staff recently took some time to brighten their hallways for the holiday season, decorating them in a wintery theme. Students created many of the decorative backdrops, which included a collage of scenes from New York City during the holiday season and a variety of gingerbread houses and snowmen to name a few. Team Eggnog pasted their faces onto their mural of the famous Rockefeller Center ice rink, while teacher Julie Gilliam can be seen vending hot dogs to students in a chilly Central Park.

Principal Kerri Galante and Assistant Principal Chris Hoisik did their parts as well, with an invite to “come chill with the principals” near the main office where students could stop by and view a series of funny animated wintery video shorts incorporating their images.
