Rural School News Holiday Decor Brightens Traditions

Fuller school notes December 21 marked our first cementer of the term and a week of tamester tests with perfect attendance from several students earning four month certificates. A snow storm caused minor road closures but most pupils were present. The Christmas program featured a Santa Claus and reindeer scene, poinsettias in the lower grades, and a Bethlehem tableau with the wise men. We bought a new linoleum rug for the cozy corner, sold $2.78 in Christmas seals, and awarded pencils to Beth Tuttle and Francea Tinie for selling the most. Twenty four visitors attended the Christmas party and classes resume after a one week break.
