Tis the Season: Christmas Campus Happenings
The Christmas season brings about a number of campus happenings. Below are a few you would be sure to find from year to year:
SPC Christmas Shop Collection
Our preschool students partnered with South Potomac Church and Lifestyles of Southern Maryland by collecting new and very gently used blankets and towels for distribution at the annual, free SPC Christmas Shop for the homeless and less fortunate within our community. Our students did not disappoint with 70 blankets, 25 emergency blankets, 15 washcloths and 28 towels collected by for the SPC Christmas Shop! The students were so excited knowing they were helping others stay warm.
Thank you so much to all who donated!
Our 1st and 2nd graders displayed the true meaning of Christmas through their Christmas Program, “The Great Christmas Giveaway.”

Annual Live Nativity
Christmas Morning "Drive- In" Movie
Our preschoolers celebrate Christmas together in the chapel with a “drive-in” movie and yummy treats. Each student is given a cardboard box to take home and transform into their very own vehicle of choice. These vehicles are parked in the chapel and the students watch a movie in their pajamas. This is a tradition that has become a favorite for not only our preschoolers, but also the rest of our school as the creativity to-be-seen is one that is highly looked forward to witnessing in person.
Classroom Christmas Celebrations
Our classes celebrate Christmas in a variety of different ways. Some classes make ornaments and crafts to be cherished by loved ones for years to come. Many classes have parties where they play games, eat treats, and exchange gifts.
Preschool Christmas Program
Our preschoolers sing about the true meaning of Christmas to a packed audience on the last day of school. They are known to bring smiles to faces and tears to eyes. It would not be a preschool Christmas Program without singing Happy Birthday to Jesus. Mrs. Colein works for months with students and teachers to prepare for this performance. It is a performance that parents look forward to every year.
