The Caldwell County School System set aside last Thursday night as a special time to celebrate the upcoming Christmas break and season. The first ever “Merry and Bright Family Night” was held from 5:00 pm to 7:00 pm and gave each school a chance to choose their theme and decorate the building and then invite students and their families to come and enjoy some fun Merry & Bright activities as they prepare to dismiss for the Christmas Holiday Break.
Primary Principal Jay Burgett shared what the Primary School had planned for the night as they showcased the “Gingerbread Wonderland”.
