Games and activities were around every corner in the school as students, families, and friends could participate in a robotics course, play elf slingshot, pin the nose on the reindeer, check out some student art, or join a Kpop dance party in the library. Treats like ice cream, baked goods, and even some elf spaghetti satisfied the holiday sweet tooths in attendance.

Great job Oquirrh Hills students, staff, and volunteers on a wonderful night out supporting a worthy cause.
