Buddy Ornaments Bring Students Together During Winterfest

As part of Winterfest, Otselic Valley students participated in a Buddy Classroom ornament-making activity that brought together students from across grade levels.

Middle and high school students visited their assigned elementary classrooms, where they worked side by side with their buddies to decorate and fill holiday ornaments. While creating their ornaments, students shared conversations about Christmas, family traditions, and what makes the season special. Each child had the opportunity to create an ornament to take home. After decorating their ornaments, some buddy groups also took part in the Cup Challenge!

Thank you to our students for being such thoughtful buddies, and to our staff for organizing and supporting this Winterfest activity that helped strengthen connections across grade levels.
