Party Time!
Thanks to the Party Committee who planned a super fun party for us today!
First, it was a Team Challenge: transform your captain into Santa using only newspaper.
Next, it was an epic newspaper snowball fight!
Finally, it was a partner challenge: unscramble the words!
Of course there were yummy snacks too!
Thanks a bunch Party Committee!
