Winter break is finally almost here, and everyone is buzzing off with excitement about their plans for the holiday! I interviewed some of the students and teachers to find out how they celebrate this chilly season. Here’s what they had to say!
Janail Bullock shared her winter break tradition, she says, “I go out to North Carolina to visit family.” Spending time with loved ones is really important, especially during the holidays. It sounds like Janail looks forward to making fun memories with her family in North Carolina.
Oscar is all about cozy move nights during winter break, he says, “During winter break, I always look forward to revisiting Harry Potter and the Sorcerer’s Stone. It’s my favorite movie to watch during the season.” Watching movies like Harry Potter really helps set the festive mood!
Mr. Elias NeJame has some exciting plans as well. He mentioned, “We sorta have a mini trip; we’re going to stay for 5 days in Harpers Ferry, so it’s only an hour away. It’s not too much driving, but it definitely still feels like a vacation, which would be nice.” A mini getaway sounds like a perfect way to unwind!
For Mr. NeJames, spending quality time with family is super important. He says, “It’s really important for me. My wife and I are both teachers here at Manassas City, and it’s one of our only times to spend time with one another.” With their daughters going to daycare the following week, he’s looking forward to some much-needed alone time with his wife.
Janail also shared her love for winter, noting, “The winter breaks and the snow.” Who doesn’t love and enjoy a good snow day? Winter is definitely a magical time of the year!
Lastly, Oscar summed it up nicely when he mentioned, “I really look forward to spending quality time with my family and also taking some time for myself.” It’s important to recharge during the busy school year.
As winter break approaches, it’s clear that everyone has something special to look forward too. Whether it’s family trips, favorite movies, or simply enjoying the snow, this holiday season is bound to be filled with so much joy and togetherness.
Share your plans during the holiday season in the comments! Happy winter break everyone!
