Spirit Week is in full swing across the Horseheads Central School District, bringing festive cheer to students and staff alike. The high school kicked off the celebrations with an "Ugly Sweater Day," followed by a cozy "Pajama Day" tomorrow.

In a heartwarming initiative, members of the Interact Club read Christmas stories to elementary students, fostering a love for reading during the holiday season. Additionally, various clubs, including Interact and senior class officers, are supporting the Salvation Army by ringing bells in the community.

Exciting news for juniors: the prom theme has been announced as the "Golden Gala." Meanwhile, the Horseheads United Raiders hosted a successful cookie and ornament-making event last Monday, adding to the holiday spirit.

Winter sports teams have also made a strong start to their seasons, while the district's jazz band, orchestra, and choirs showcased their talents in Christmas concerts this month. The jazz band and Winter Guard participated in the Sparkle event, further highlighting the district's commitment to the arts.

In a tribute to veterans, the football team laid wreaths at Woodlawn Cemetery as part of the Reads Across America initiative. The Green Room Players are busy rehearsing for their upcoming spring play, "Into the Woods," featuring Mia in a leading role.

As the district embraces the holiday season, these activities not only celebrate community spirit but also emphasize the importance of supporting one another and honoring traditions.
