[Chanukah] [Christmas] [Kwanzaa] [Holidays for Teachers]
Polar Bears Winter Holidays Page
Kids, please remember that the true spirit of all the winter holidays has to do with faith and family; with giving, and peace and joy. None of these celebrations are about who gets the most stuff. You are the most precious gift your parents have. Give yourself this season! Ignore those TV commercials and make your own cards and gifts!
Have a happy and peaceful Holiday Season, Mr. Roemer
