There are only 8 school days left folks and 17 days until Christmas. The Spotline has recently received a video from Santa and he has an important message for everyone. See what he has to say here.
Countdown Continues
12 school days left!! Bring your Christmas list tomorrow and have a seat on Santa’s lap. He will be in the Commons during lunch taking Christmas wishes for free and who knows your wish may just end up on the Spotline.
Countdown to Christmas Break!!!
Christmas break is approaching at a snail’s pace, it seems. There are only 13 more school days until the semester ends, not that we’re counting or anything…
