Heritage welcomes winter for first dress-up day 

in News by

As winter break approaches rapidly, Heritage students celebrate their last full week of school by participating in spirit dress-up days. Ugly Sweater day marked the first dress-up day Dec. 9. Students could choose to wear ugly sweaters with their school uniform bottoms or non-ripped jeans.

In addition to celebrating with the common ugly sweater Christmas traditions, a capella singers traveled all around campus delivering Christmas singing grams students purchased for $2.

Ugly sweaters ranged from sweaters with cute characters on them such as “The Grinch” or “Snoopy” to sweaters themed to different holidays – from Hannakha to Christmas. (Photos/Emma Colarte Delgado, Camila Doerffler and Alex Ngo)

Middle schoolers also had a chance to participate in the festive spirit, wearing their sweaters throughout the day. (Photos/Emma Colarte Delgado and Camila Doerffler)
