Acting Principal Erica Sanborn and the faculty were extremely enthusiastic about the Keep Christ in Christmas poster contest and offered much support and encouragement to the students. This was evident by the overwhelming participation in the poster contest by the students at St. Thomas School. It was rewarding to witness the creative talents of each student and how each of them expressed what Christmas meant to themselves and the significance of the birth of Jesus Christ in this joyous season!
