Calhoun County Middle High School students have been spreading the Christmas spirit throughout the school. The art classes have been portraying their talent by painting delightful pictures of Christmas trees, reindeer, snowmen to pictures of their favorite cartoon character on the windows and doors all around the building.

Each homeroom class was given the challenge of decorating their doors to be judged by the high school film class. Students spent a week gathering materials and creating the perfect holiday door.

Middle School class winners were: 1st place Mrs. Hill's "Christmas Tree" (made of each student's hands), 2nd Mrs. Nicholas' "Simple Gifts", 3rd Mrs. Offutt's "Christmas Tree", 4th place Ms. Martin's "Christmas Tree and Presents".

High School class winners were 1st place Mrs. Pitts's "North Pole", 2nd Mrs. White's "Gingerbread House", 3rd Mrs. Chesser's "Stockings", 4th Mrs. Yoak's "Breast Cancer".

Faculty and students were also given the challenge to enter the "Ugliest Sweater Contest". There were some very unique sweaters that were homemade as well as originals.
