Lake Highlands Freshman Center Holiday Door Contest

LAKE HIGHLANDS FRESHMAN CENTER'S HOLIDAY DOOR CONTEST




LHFC students show off their entry into the holiday door decorating contest.


LHFC is really in the Holiday spirit! During their “Wildcat Den” (Advisory Period), they had a holiday door decorating contest.

Principals and Counselors did the judging, and selected a first, second, and third place winner and three Honorable Mentions.

The first through third place winners won a pizza and cold drink party. The the three Honorable Mention winners won doughnuts and hot chocolate.
