Trimming the Tree at OLM Academy
Students from Pre-K through Grade 8 participated in the annual decorating of the school Christmas tree. Each student is asked to bring in an ornament to add to the tree. The ornaments adorn the tree for the Christmas season, and then each student is asked to choose any ornament from the tree, to take home at the end of the season.
