Stacey Rogers is the principal
for over 350 elementary students who attend Olympia South. She was
thrilled with the turnout on Wednesday.
"This is a good crowd, and it
seems everyone is having a good time," Mrs. Rogers said. "The
students and teachers worked hard to complete the artwork and to
decorate the halls. I think parents will be surprised at some of the
displays. Everything looks so great and it is very creative."
The school building was open
from just 6 to 7 p.m., and it was a packed house. Lines moved down
one side of a hall and returned on the opposite side, giving
everyone an opportunity to view the drawings, artwork and designs
that were on the walls, hanging from the ceiling and attached to
doors.
Parents and families visited
in the cafeteria after finding their students' art displays, and if
someone hadn't decorated their house as of that night, they were
surely inspired by the displays to go home and begin to hang the
lights and tinsel.
