The Champion Schools’ Staff gathered at the Grande Luxe Cafe in Scottsdale for a holiday party. The occasion marked the end of another successful term and the first term for a number of teachers and coaches.
Champion Schools would like to wish everyone a Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year! We look forward to starting off another great term come January 4th, 2010!
December 18th was the last Friday of the fall term and also the first school sanctioned dance for Champion Schools. The Eastlake gymnasium was the site of the First Annual Winter Wonderland Holiday Dance for middle school students. The event was a chance for the upper-class students to mingle and move to the dj once more before the holiday break. Tomorrow, December 22nd, is the last day of school.
