Blue Jays from every grade level work with their homeroom classmates to display Christmas spirit on their homeroom doors. From traditional trimmings to ingenious holiday spoofs, homerooms work hard to make their doors reflect the spirit of the season.

Members of the Student Council took to the halls Thursday afternoon to judge the best door for each class level. The winning homerooms earned a doughnut breakfast courtesy of the student council.

The winning homerooms are:

Pre-freshmen – HR 805, Rm. 212

Freshmen – HR 903, Rm. 223

Sophomores – HR 1007, Rm. 320

Juniors – HR 1102, Rm. 408

Seniors – HR 1204, Rm. 115

Overall winners were:

3rd overall – HR 1204, Rm. 115

2nd overall – HR 805, Rm. 212
