For the past four post-Covid years, a door-decorating contest has been held here at Greenbrier East to celebrate the holiday season. This year, as always, the doors were judged on craftsmanship, creativity, completeness, originality, and imaginative communication of the Christmas theme.

Because 5th period is the longest class of the day, a teacher’s lunch block class always helps to decorate the door. If a teacher has planning during 5th period, they may select another class period to do the decorating.

The judging is based on each individual door; although hallways can collaborate to be more festive, only one door can win. The theme this Christmas was “A Worldwide Holiday Event,” so doors were to show how people around the world celebrate the holidays.

The contest took place on December 18, and the Special Education Department members were the ones to decide who won the contest.

• First place was Ms. McMahan’s door; her students won a pizza party
• Second place was Ms. Nutter’s door; her students received slushies
• Third place was Mr. Cline’s door; his students got cookies and milk

Congratulations to all the winners, and thanks to all who participated in making our school so festive!
