The Teacher Prep girls celebrated the end of the semester with an unforgettable Christmas party! To keep things lively, they kicked it off with a game of Dirty Santa 🎁—because what’s the holidays without a little gift-swapping drama? 😄
Of course, no party is complete without some fun and games, so they brought out their favorite board games 🎲. Laughter, competition, and maybe a tiny bit of trash talk filled the room!
And let’s talk about the FOOD. 🍪🧁🍕 Everyone brought their A-game, with a spread that could rival Santa’s feast! Delicious treats were shared, plates were piled high, and no one left hungry.
What a perfect way to wrap up the semester! 🎅❤️

"Southwest Tech- North Pole Aviation Division of Santa’s workshop- proudly operates from Hangar 33, a branch of Southwest Tech that focuses on maintaining Santa's worldwide delivery system of happiness and joy. This team of skilled maintainers is tirelessly working around the clock, 24/7, to complete all necessary final maintenance tasks, ensuring that every child around the world experiences a magical Christmas. The commitment of these maintenance Elves to aviation maintenance exemplifies how this field can connect people globally, making the world feel smaller and more united. Southwest Tech extends its heartfelt gratitude to Bill Hubbard and Rent City of Altus for their generous support in providing the truck and trailer that serve as a mobile work center, allowing the normally secretive operations of the North Pole to be visible to the public.
