Overton Elementary Staff Participate in the "Greeting" Challenge What a great way to start the morning! All staff at Overton Elementary School jumped into the holiday spirit in early December and participated in the greeting challenge presented by principal Candice Austin. Teachers, administrators, and support staff were challenged to give their very best greeting as students arrived at school. In the school bus and car rider drop off areas, students were greeted by snowmen, elves, fairy princesses and even the ghost of Christmas past. Teachers and assistants greeted students at their classroom doors dressed in Santa, Reindeer and other festive costumes. Support staff continued the challenges by handing out candy canes in hallway and cafeteria areas. Select parent judges were in the school building to choose the winner or winners. But actually – they were all winners, which was evident by the smiling faces and laughter from the children that echoed through the walls of Overton Elementary on an early December morning.
