Opal students did everything they could think of to help Santa get back in shape before Christmas, after months of too many cookies and treats. They planned workouts, led festive exercises, shared healthy snack ideas, and even cheered Santa on with lots of encouragement and laughter. With teamwork and plenty of holiday spirit, the students showed that a little movement and motivation can go a long way...especially when Christmas is right around the corner. 🎄
This year, Central Meade County School K–3rd graders had to put their thinking caps on and come up with a plan when Santa got sick right before Christmas. Through teamwork and lots of problem-solving, the students stepped up to save the day...brainstorming ideas, sharing roles, and proving that even the youngest helpers can keep the Christmas spirit alive when things don’t go as planned!

Students greeted their guests at the door with big smiles, proudly serving muffins and coffee, before guiding them through the classrooms.
