Family

Laekyn Coleman, 7th Grade

Family is so important especially since the pandemic, it's important to share time and have fun with your loved ones (family, friends) because you don’t know how much time you have with them. Every holiday you spend with family and friends is just as important as the first one. Being able to see family and friends during this time is precious and we should cherish it. Knowing the true meaning of family is very important. Just like the true meaning behind Christmas memories. love , happiness, joy and FAMILY.

Christmas Through the Eyes of a Child

Chloe Howard, 8th Grade

OVERALL WINNER

This Christmas, I am praying for our healthcare workers. This year has been a very trying time for everyone, but I know it has been especially hard on doctors, nurses, pharmacists, and other healthcare workers. Not only have they had to work countless hours this year, but they have also had to miss out on precious time with their families, and it will be the same way this holiday season. While we are all eating good food, opening presents, and spending time with our loved ones, they will be fighting the awful, COVID-19, trying to keep all of us safe and healthy. It is because of that, that I am so thankful for all healthcare workers.
